2010 Map of Lac du Flambeau SW

About this map

Willow Reservoir and its complex shoreline dominate the southeastern corner of this Northwoods landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and streams dictates the local geography. The presence of the Squirrel Hill Lookout Tower near Yukon Creek indicates the importance of fire observation over these vast wooded tracts. This area is defined by its extensive drainage systems, with the Squirrel River and McGrass Creek weaving between numerous named lakes such as Stone Lake, Pine Lake, and Swamsauger Lake. The map reveals a region primarily shaped by its natural hydrography rather than dense urban settlement, reflecting the persistent character of northern Wisconsin's lake country. Navigable waterways like Langley Creek and Buckskin Creek connect these isolated basins, providing a clear record of the area's aquatic connectivity before more modern development altered such drainage patterns.
