The log cabin where David and I lived when first born, and where George was born, was in Yarnell. The dashed line, beginning at the left side, just below state highway 48, and angling up through Yarnell, and off the map, which is labelled Tuscobia Park Falls State (Trail), was, when I was a boy, a railroad. It went close to our property--a couple of rock throws away, and Knuteson Creek went under it at about that point, as I recall. The map doesn't show it as I remember it, exactly, but I'm thinking that the log cabin would have been a little South of the place where the Trail/Train crosses the road above the word Yarnell.
The Benson Place, the farm we started to buy, just before Ted was born, was above Edgewater, and to the right of it. Following County Highway F along the West side of Lake Chetac, and up beyond it, there are two roads that meet at Highway F. Wayside Chapel is between these roads, close to Highway F. (Mom and Dad donated the land for the church from their property.) The road that angles North and East is an old railroad bed, and cut through our farm. The road that goes straight East, nearly, is now called Chapel Road, and our driveway is a little East of the junction with the road leading South from Chapel Road.
Yarnell School was in the Southeast corner of the section that the word, Yarnell, is in. Edgewater School was in Edgewater.
Birchwood is in Washburn County, to the West of EDGEWATER. The trail, and highway 48, are heading for it.
If you weren't aware of it already, the glaciers had an enormous effect on this area of the country. There are lakes or ponds everywhere, left over from glacier melt, it is said.Summit Lake is on the map, about 1/3 of the way from the top. Rogers Lake, adjacent to it, was Baker Lake when we grew up.
Hayward, the County seat, is off the map to the North. So is Radisson, which is also East of the map area.
Meteor, which isn't a town, but a Township, is the site of the tragic deer hunting killings of November 21, 2004. It is the Township East of Edgewater. The Yarnell School, and the log cabin, were in Meteor Township.
Stone Lake is on the border of Washburn County, and part of it is in that County. The Thrasher farm was in Washburn County, I believe. Stone Lake is North and West of SAND LAKE.
Rice Lake was, and is, the biggest town in the area. It is South of Birchwood, more or less, in Barron County. Four counties meet at the Southwest corner of the map. Rusk County, which is where your Aunt Joan is from, is the fourth of these. It is South of Sawyer County.
You can get maps of this area with current road names by going here, then asking for Yarnell, Wis, (that's right!) or Edgewater, Wis, and moving and zooming as appropriate. They don't show the creeks and lakes as well.
