About this map

The Flambeau River carves a winding path through this northern Wisconsin landscape, characterized by a series of dramatic river features including Simmons Rapids, Flat Rapids, and Quinns Rapids. By the mid-1980s, much of the terrain was dedicated to conservation, dominated by the Hay Creek-Hoffman Lake State Wildlife Area and the expansive waters of the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage.

Evidence of historical industry and river travel remains visible through labels like Roddis Grade Road, Mining Road, and several gravel pits. Remote access points such as Petes Landing and Holts Landing provide a glimpse into the recreation and transport patterns of the era. The presence of the Portage and The Ledge along the river highlights the physical challenges faced by early travelers navigating these waterways near the Ashland and Iron County border.
