About this map

Frog Creek and the marshlands of Washburn County define this northern Wisconsin landscape as it was documented in the early 1970s. The settlement of Stanberry sits in the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point near the Soo Line railroad. This area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including Gull Lake and Tranus Lake, which are connected by smaller waterways like Thayer Creek and Maggie Creek.

Surface transportation is a mix of established routes like Mc Intosh Road and specialized paths such as the Firelane, suggesting a region managed for both timber and recreation. The mapping of a Boat Ramp on Tranus Lake and the various named lakes, such as Sugar Bush Lake and Taylor Lake, highlight the importance of the local watershed. Historical researchers can trace the precise boundaries of Frog Creek and Stinnett townships through this detailed surveying.
