Washburn County Forest Hunting Maps
Forest management and harvesting on the Washburn County Forest provides habitat for game and non-game species. Hunters can find numerous opportunities near and around recent harvests and can also benefit from a knowledge of age class diversity.
The Forestry Department has created harvest maps and aspen age class maps for each of the 15 integrated resource management units on the Washburn County Forest. These maps are current as of 10/1/2023.
Grouse hunters can utilize the following maps that depict aspen acreage by age class:
Unit 4 - Silent Wood Unit Aspen
Unit 7 - Stuntz Brook Unit Aspen
Unit 14 - Spider Lake Unit Aspen
Unit 15 - Welsh Lake Unit Aspen
We also receive numerous requests for map information on recent harvest areas. The following maps depict timber sale contracts that were closed between the time period of 1/1/2018 and 9/1/2021.
