About this map

Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation encompasses a vast complex of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, centered on the settlement of Lac du Flambeau. The 1971 field check reveals a landscape defined by water and forest management, including the Park Falls District Ranger station and State Land within the Chequamegon National Forest. The map detail shows the intricate shorelines of Flambeau Lake and Crawling Stone Lake, along with cultural landmarks like Strawberry Island and the Wabasso Lake Campground and Picnic Area.

Navigation through this Northwoods terrain is marked by local landmarks such as the Water Tank, a Landing Strip, and numerous boat ramps. The presence of a Cem near the north end of Long Interlaken Lake and several Gravel Pits suggests the quiet infrastructure supporting this remote community. This survey provides a precise view of the lake-strewn border where Vilas Co meets Oneida Co, preserving the spatial layout of the region before modern development intensified.
