2010 Map of Reserve

About this map

Lac Courte Oreilles and Grindstone Lake dominate this Northwoods landscape, highlighting the water-rich geography of Sawyer County. In the south, the community of Reserve and the more densely gridded residential layout of Northwoods Beach reflect the region's development as a destination for seasonal residence and lakeside recreation. The hydrology is intricate, with smaller bodies of water like Whitefish Lake, Windigo Lake, and Little Lac Courte Oreilles connected by a network of creeks including Spring Lake Creek and Grindstone Creek. The presence of the Jonjak Dam on the western edge of Minnemac Lake points to local water level management, while the Namekagon River clips the northwest corner, signifying the area's importance within the larger St. Croix National Scenic Riverway corridor. A detailed road network, including County Hwy K and County Hwy E, provides access to numerous smaller lakes such as Petty Lake and Adina Lake.
