About this map

Flambeau River meanders through the heart of this Northwoods landscape, defining the character of the Oxbo area. The river's path is punctuated by features like Barnaby Rapids, illustrating the varied hydrology of the region as it crosses the boundary between Sawyer and Price counties. A dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands dominates the terrain, including the sizable Long Lake and the aptly named Deadman Slough. These water bodies are connected by a system of minor creeks such as Butternut Creek and Le Tourneau Cr.

Local roads and trails provide access to these remote waters, with names like Dog Patch Rd, Snooze Blvd, and Tower Hill Rd reflecting the recreational and rural nature of the settlement. The map also captures the intricate shoreline of Pelican Lake and the seclusion of Jackson Springs. This survey provides a clear view of the north-central Wisconsin timber and water country in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of waterway navigation and local transit routes.
