About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the confluence of Ashland, Iron, and Price counties meets amidst a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways. The South Fork Flambeau River carves a winding path through the timberland, characterized by numerous navigational challenges for early river travelers such as The Ledge Rapids and Forest Rapids.

A web of forestry roads, including Blockhouse Lake Rd and Huffman Lake Rd, provides access to remote water bodies like Blockhouse Lake, Wintergreen Lake, and Iodine Lake. The map reveals a land defined by its transition from open water to marshy creek beds, with Hoffman Cr and Threemile Cr draining the numerous basins. This area remains a primary focus for those studying the intersection of public land management and the glacial hydrography of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
