About this map

The confluence of the Namekagon River and the St Croix National Scenic Riverway anchors this portion of Washburn County, illustrating a landscape defined by glacial lakes and river corridors. The settlement of Trego serves as a central point where the Chicago and North Western rail line crosses the water, a route that also passes through the small communities of Lampson and Earl. These settlements are marked by local landmarks like the Lampson Cem and the Wesleyan Ch, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research.

Water dominates the northern and eastern sections, with Gull Lake, Silver Lake, and Whalen Lake providing a glimpse into the region's recreational and natural geography. Public lands, including the Whalen Creek State Public Hunting Grounds and the Mc Kenzie Creek State Public Fishery Area, highlight the state's conservation priorities in the early 1980s. Natural springs like Veazie Springs and Whalen Springs further distinguish the hydrology of this Northwoods terrain.
