About this map

The Lac du Flambeau community and its surrounding lake-studded landscape are the focus of this early 1970s study, which details the complex geography of the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation Boundary. The townsite itself includes vital infrastructure of the era, such as an Indian Agency, a Water Tank, and a Sewage Disposal Pond situated near the shores of Moss Lake. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Crawling Stone Lake, Tippecanoe Lake, and the larger Squirrel Lake to the southeast.

Wooded expanses within the Chequamegon National Forest transition into residential and community areas connected by routes like Indian Village Road and Old Prairie Road. Local landmarks such as Strawberry Island and various family-named water bodies like Ross Allen Lake and Havener Lake reflect the regional settlement patterns of the Northwoods. This survey also records numerous Gravel Pit sites, signaling local material extraction during a period of ongoing development.
