2010 Map of Timberland

About this map

The settlement of Timberland anchors this pocket of Northwest Wisconsin, where the drainage of the North Fork Clam River and the South Fork Clam River defines the landscape. The area is densely patterned with glacial kettle lakes, including family-named water bodies like Severson Lake, Kinny Lake, and Leach Lake. A network of early roads, such as Bashaw Store Rd, Sawmill Rd, and the curiously named Narrow Gauge Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by the regional timber and agricultural economy. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Clam River Cemetery is situated in the northeastern quadrant near the bend of the North Fork. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, from the cluster of southern waters including Upper Waterman Lake and Lower Waterman Lake to the scattered wetlands that connect these diverse aquatic systems.
