2022 Map of Washburn

About this map

Washburn sits prominently along the shoreline where Vandeventer Bay meets Chequamegon Bay on the southwestern edge of Lake Superior. As the seat of local government, the town is anchored by the Bayfield County Courthouse, with residential blocks stretching inland toward a series of community burial grounds including Woodlawn Cem, Calvary Cem, and Old Calvary Cem. The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Sioux River and Little Sioux River, which flow through a network of rural roads such as Friendly Valley Rd and N Niemisto Rd. Farther north, the small settlement of Sioux marks the transition toward the more wooded interior. The map reveals a contemporary rural-to-urban layout, where established township grids intersect with natural watercourses like Bono Cr and Thompson Cr.
