About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands define this portion of the Wisconsin Northwoods in the early 1970s. The unincorporated community of Stone Lake serves as the primary settlement, situated along the Soo Line railroad. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by a Townhall, the Evergreen Cem, and a network of secondary roads including a designated Fire Lane. The landscape is heavily influenced by water management and natural resources, evidenced by Cranberry Bogs near Spring Lake and several Gravel Pits scattered across the township.

Water bodies dominate the terrain, from the large expanse of Sissabagama Lake and Sand Lake to the managed Slim Creek Flowage. Smaller, more isolated waters like Sawmill Lake, Wolf Lake, and Beartrap Lake are dotted with a Campground and Picnic Areas, reflecting the region's transition toward seasonal recreation and timber-related land use. The boundary between Stone Lake in Washburn Co and Sawyer Co bisects the map, showing the jurisdictional layout of these forested tracts.
