About this map

Hay Creek-Hoffman Lake State Wildlife Area and the Chequamegon National Forest dominate this Northern Wisconsin landscape, where the South Fork Flambeau River winds through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The river's path is marked by a series of distinct natural features including Sixth Rapids and The Ledge Rapids, leading toward the Sugarbush Dam on the Eisenstein Fork.

Mapping reveals a remote wilderness terrain shaped by both water and resource management, from the quiet waters of Blockhouse Lake and Wintergreen Lake to the scattered industrial footprints like the Gravel Pit near Tracy Creek. The presence of the Radio Tower and Sailor Lake Road provides a sense of the limited infrastructure cutting through these woods in the mid-1980s, serving both timber interests and conservation efforts across the Ashland and Price county lines.
