2018 Map of Winter

About this map

The Chippewa River carves a central path through this Sawyer County landscape, joined by a network of tributaries including Kenyon Cr and Brunet River. The settlement of Winter serves as the primary hub in the northeast, where Winter Cem and Saint Peter's Cem provide important reference points for local genealogists. Westward along the river, the village of Ojibwa and the small crossing at Bishop Bridge mark the era's persistent river-oriented settlement patterns. The terrain is defined by its water systems, from the wetlands surrounding Mud Lake to the drainage of Knapp Stout Cr. Aviation history is represented by the Rainbow Airport, situated north of the main river bend, while a dense grid of rural roads like Fadness RD and Sitte RD connect the outlying farmsteads and woodlands.
