About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses this section of Price County, a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, flowages, and small creeks. The terrain is dominated by water management and natural basins, featuring the Sailor Cr Flowage and several impoundments along Squaw Creek, including Squaw Cr Flowage 6 and the Lower Squaw Cr Flowage. These water bodies, along with Gates Lake and Solberg Lake, characterize the recreational and hydrological profile of the region.

Transportation through these timberlands relies on a system of forest roads and named lanes, such as Hicks Landing Rd and Sailor Lake Rd, which provide access to remote areas like Hoosback Springs. The map reveals the quiet, undeveloped character of the Northwoods, where names like Hay Shanty Ln and Cranberry Marsh Dr hint at the local history of small-scale industry and seasonal camps within the protected federal forest boundaries.
