About this map

Spooner Lake and the surrounding Washburn County wetlands define this landscape, where the Yellow River and Potato Creek flow through a complex network of glacial lakes and springs. The area is anchored by the settlement of Spooner and the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cem, which sits near the southern marshes. The terrain is notably varied, featuring the rise of Crystal Mtn and the specialized Nest of Eagles Airport located east of the lake.

Transport and recreation intersect along the Wild Rivers State Trl, which follows a former rail corridor through the western portion of the map. This corridor, combined with numerous county roads like Co Hwy H and Blooming Vale Rd, highlights the region's transition from a timber and rail-dependent economy to one centered on recreational land use and conservation, visible in the protected status of areas near Beaver Brook.
