1938 Map of Lac Du Flambeau

About this map

Lac du Flambeau stands as a central hub in this Wisconsin lake country, where the Chicago and Northwestern railroad tracks cross the water-rich landscape of the Flambeau and Minocqua regions. The map illustrates a dense network of glacial lakes including the large Fence Lake and Indian Lake, alongside smaller bodies like Crawling Stone Lake and Flambeau Lake. Beyond the main settlement, the rural infrastructure of the 1930s is visible in features like the Marlands Sch and the Flambeau Fire Tower located near Marlands. Large tracts of protected land are defined by the boundaries of the Northern Highland State Forest and the Chequamegon National Forest. The presence of the Mishonagon Swamp and numerous named bogs indicates the wet, low-lying nature of the terrain between the Vilas, Oneida, and Iron County lines.
