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 1 – Flowage Unit Aspen

Unit 2 – Totogatic Unit Aspen

Unit 3 – Waggoner Unit Aspen

Unit 4 – Silent Wood Unit Aspen

Unit 5 – Stanberry Unit Aspen

Unit 6 – Gardner Unit Aspen
