2018 Map of Hay Creek Flowage

About this map

The Flambeau River carves a winding path through this northern landscape, its course interrupted by several named whitewater features including Stubbs Rapids, Quinns Rapids, and Simmons Rapids. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrology where the Turtle Flambeau Flowage meets the river, surrounded by a dense network of smaller water bodies such as Minnow Lake and McKaskel Lake. The boundary between Ashland and Iron counties bisects the region, which is marked by a distinctive glacial or rocky landmark known as Bear Skull Rock. A network of forest and county roads, such as Co Hwy F and the Flambeau Trl, provides access to this heavily forested wetland environment. The map details the intricate drainage patterns of Swamp Creek and Hay Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by both natural river morphology and modern water management.
