Overview

Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist, 1914, Vol. 13 An examination of any map of the state will show that the northwestern Wisconsin counties are remarkable for the great number of their lakes and streams. From the northern edge of St. Croix county to the southeastern corner of Douglas county the surface of the land is literally spotted with lakes ranging in size from an ordinary pond to some which are five or more miles in length. A second system of lakes begins in the southern part of. Barron county and extends in a general northeasterly direction across Washburn and sawyer and into southern Bayfield county. Some of the largest lakes in this system are from three to nine or more miles long. Among the largest of the lakes in the northwestern counties are Balsam and Bone lakes, in Polk county; Clam, Big Sand, and Yellow lakes, in Burnett county; St. C'roix, Nebagamon, Whitefish and Leader lakes, in Douglas county; Courte Oreilles, Grindstone, Round and Chetac lakes in Sawyer county; Long and Shell lakes, in Washburn county, and Red Cedar, Prairie, Chetek and Bear lakes in Barron county. Over two hundred lakes, large and small, are found in Polk and Washburn counties; nearly two hundred in Burnett; over one hundred in each Bar ron and Sawyer counties, and over fifty in Douglas county. The principal streams draining these counties are the St. Croix which forms the western boundary of the counties of St. Croix, Polk and Burnett, and its larger tributaries, the Apple, Wil low, Clam, Yellow and Nemacagon, and the Black, Amnicon and Brule, which drain into Lake Superior.
