About this map

Lac Sault Dore 272 dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, formed by the impoundment of the Elk River at the Murray 2WP375 Dam. This aquatic network is the central geographic feature of the area, where the Elk River meets the South Fork Flambeau River in a complex of wetlands and tributaries. The map details a transition from riverine systems to glacial lakes, including Crane and Chase Lake and Mcllquham Lake in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

A network of local roads such as N Soo Lake Rd and County Hwy Rd W provides access to the shoreline, reflecting the importance of water resources for recreation and local utility. The presence of Logging Rd near North Fork Skinner Creek points to the continued significance of the timber industry in Price County. Further south, the landscape is defined by the drainages of Ninemile Creek and Carpenter Creek, which flow through a largely undeveloped woodland corridor.
