About this map

Lac Courte Oreilles and Grindstone Lake dominate this Sawyer County landscape, where the waters of the Namekagon River flow through the northwest corner near the State Nursery. The settlement of Reserve sits at the lake's edge, anchored by the St Francis Solanus Mission, while the developed shoreline of Northwoods Beach highlights the area's mid-century evolution into a recreational destination. Numerous smaller water bodies like Windigo Lake, Schoolhouse Lake, and the marshy Cranberry Bog reflect the glaciated terrain of the Hayward region.

The Hayward Indian Reservation Boundary bisects the northern sections, encompassing the Grindstone Creek State Wildlife Management Area and various spring-fed features such as Upper Grindstone Spring. Local landmarks including the Victory Heights Chapel and Whitefish Ch appear alongside a network of local roads like Kadlec Road and Williams Road, providing a detailed look at the rural and spiritual infrastructure of this Northwoods community during the early 1970s.
