About this map

The New Post settlement, marked with its benchmark elevation, serves as the primary residential hub in this corner of Sawyer County. This landscape is defined by the expansive and complex waters of Chippewa River backwaters, encompassing numerous islands like Scott Island and Birch Island. Large portions of the territory are managed as the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest or fall within the Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation Boundary.

Resource extraction and recreation are evident through the Blueberry Pit and several boat launches, such as Hermans Landing Boat Access. Smaller water bodies like Moonshine Lake and Two Boys Lake punctuate the wooded terrain, while the local Cem and Townhall near the main settlement offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching the community's mid-century footprint.
