1971 Map of Flambeau Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chippewa River and Flambeau River converge in this northern Wisconsin landscape, creating a complex hydrologic network defined by the Holcombe Flowage and numerous smaller bodies of water like Bollman Lake and La Rose Lake. The prominent landform of Flambeau Ridge rises south of the river junction, featuring the Flambeau Lookout Tower as a key landmark. The area is characterized by conservation and recreation, notably the Washington Creek State Wildlife Management Area and local community hubs such as St Francis Ch and the Townhall. Development around the flowage is evident through seasonal and residential features like North Shore Drive, the Sportsmen Club Park, and the Christian Harbor Youth Camp. This survey documents the intersection of industrial water management and public wilderness in Rusk and Chippewa counties during the early 1970s.
