About this map

The South Fork Flambeau River defines the northwestern corner of this Price County landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and small tributaries. Central to the area is Lac Sault Dore, a prominent water body fed by the Elk River and surrounded by a grid of local access roads like W Island Rd and S Sod Lake Rd. The mapping reflects a region defined by its hydrography, where the movement of water across the terrain dictated the layout of early rural routes.

Evidence of historical settlement patterns appears in names like Danish Settlement Rd in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting the specific ethnic heritage of the families who originally cleared this land. From the secluded waters of Crane and Chase Lake to the meandering course of Skinner Creek, the map preserves the nomenclature of a timber-and-water economy that continues to shape northern Wisconsin.
