About this map

The Flambeau River carves through the heart of this Iron County landscape, punctuated by a series of significant river features including Simmons Rapids, Quinns Rapids, and Stubbs Rapids. This northern Wisconsin territory is defined by its extensive water systems, where the massive Turtle Flambeau Flowage and the smaller Hay Cr Flowage dominate the hydrology. The presence of Petes Landing and Holts Landing along the river banks suggests a long-standing tradition of water access and local river travel in this densely wooded area.

Secondary water bodies like Minnow Lake, Hoffman Lake, and McKaskel Lake are connected by a web of creeks including Swamp Cr and Deer Cr. Inland, the terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Bear Skull Rock, located just south of the Flambeau River. The road network, featuring routes like Co HWY-F and Roddis Line RD, provides access to these remote shoreline points and the many rapids that once guided river navigation.
