About this map

Lake of the Falls and its surrounding watershed define this Northwoods landscape near Carter. The hydrology of the area is heavily influenced by the Turtle River and the Lake of the Falls Dam, which regulates the flow through a chain of distinct water bodies including First Black Lake, Second Black Lake, and Third Black Lake. To the south, the map captures a portion of the Flambeau Flowage 666, indicating the importance of regional water management for recreation and power.

Local access is provided by a network of family-named roads such as Russell Brothers Rd, Popko Cir W, and N John Dul Rd, suggesting long-standing land ownership in this lake-rich region. Significant water bodies like Lac de Beaumont, Moose Lake, and Popko Lake are connected by a labyrinth of smaller streams including Moose Creek, Dollar Creek, and Drinkwine Creek, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of Iron County.
