About this map

Totagatic Lake State Wildlife Management Area anchors this 1970s landscape, illustrating the conservation focus of the Chequamegon National Forest in northern Wisconsin. The map captures a water-rich environment where the Totagatic Lake and its surrounding wetlands are protected from modern development. The drainage patterns of the Totagatic River, West Fork Totagatic River, and the Ounce River define the local geography, providing critical insights for researchers tracking the hydrology of Bayfield and Sawyer counties.

Remote land management is evident in the Big Brook Semi-Primitive Non Motorized Area and the Washburn Ranger District. Topographic landmarks like Smoky Hill rise above the basin, while smaller water bodies such as Sabin Lake and Fuller Lake are tucked into the township boundaries of Barnes, Cable, and Lenroot. These details serve as a reliable reference for the trail networks and access points like Totagatic Road and various unnamed Firelanes during the early 1970s.
