About this map

Spider Lake and Lost Land Lake anchor this Sawyer County landscape, where glacial depressions have created a dense concentration of water bodies. The northern half of the map is defined by an intricate network of shorelines, featuring islands and narrow channels like those found in North Lake and Eagle Nest Lake. This area shows a established pattern of lakeside access via roads such as Hahns Rd and N Balsam Rd, while the southern reaches transition into the protected timberlands of the Chequamegon National Forest.

Hydrological features dominate the central and southern portions, including the Tiger Cat Flowage and the headwaters of the N Fork Chief River. The presence of Dead Creek Spring and numerous unnamed wetlands suggests a complex drainage system that feeds into larger lakes like Trout Lake. For those interested in the recreational and natural layout of the region, the map also details significant corridors such as Snowmobile Trail 5 and various forest service routes.
