2023 Map of Raco

About this map

The settlement of Raco serves as a small anchor in the northern reaches of the Hiawatha National Forest. This section of Chippewa County is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the West Branch Waiska River and the meandering North Pine River. The interior of the Delirium Wilderness contains significant water features like Delirium Pond and the Sylvester Impoundment, reflecting a landscape managed for both timber and conservation. Transport through this dense terrain relies on specialized paths such as the Raco-Rudyard Snowmo Trl and the Cherry Stem Hike Trl, while local access is maintained via W Sawyer Rd and Prairie Rd. The cartography reveals a wilderness area defined by its drainages, with McMahen Creek and Horseshoe Creek carving through the township boundaries.
