About this map

The Clam River State Fishery Area dominates the northern reaches of this Wisconsin landscape, where the North Fork Clam River and South Fork Clam River converge amidst a dense network of glacial lakes. In the early 1980s, the rural community of Timberland served as a local anchor, centered around Timberland Road and the Townhall. Small country congregations and burial grounds like the Timberland Ch, Timberland Cem, and Clam River Cem are scattered across the townships of Roosevelt and Dewey, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research.

Water defines the southern half of the quadrangle, which is dotted with numerous named basins including Leach Lake, Shallow Lake, and the connected Upper Waterman Lake and Lower Waterman Lake. The presence of a Lookout Tower and several Gravel Pit sites suggests a landscape balanced between conservation, recreation, and local resource extraction. Sandy roads like Sand Road and Knoll Road navigate the uneven terrain between these water bodies, tracing long-established property and township boundaries.
