2005 Map of Totagatic Lake

About this map

Totagatic Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this conservation-focused landscape on the border of Bayfield and Sawyer counties. The map details the Totagatic Lake State Wildlife Management Area, a region defined by its complex hydrologic network where the Ounce River and Totagatic River converge. High ground is marked by Smoky Hill, providing a contrast to the low-lying marshes near Tea Lake and Sabin Lake. Large portions of the terrain are managed as part of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest, specifically within the Drummond Washburn Ranger District. The absence of dense residential development is highlighted by the designation of the Big Brook Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area, emphasizing the era's commitment to preserving primitive forest character and protecting the headwaters of the West Fork Totagatic River.
