2019 Map of Sawyer

About this map

The settlement of Sawyer serves as the focal point for this landscape in southern Carlton County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. To the north and west, significant water bodies like Miller Lake, Rice Portage Lake, and the uniquely named Dead Fish Lake define the terrain. These lakes are interconnected by a system of drainage features, including Annamahasung Cr and Stoney Brook, alongside man-made improvements such as Ditchbank Rd and Co Ditch No 2. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near the town site, where the Sawyer Cem and a Po are located. Further south, named agricultural and residential landmarks like David Creek Farm appear among the woods and marshes. The map details a transition from forest roads like Arrowhead Forest Rd to established county routes, illustrating the modern rural layout of this lake-dotted region.
