2015 Map of Lake of the Falls

About this map

Lake of the Falls and the surrounding Iron County wetlands define this landscape in the northern Wisconsin woods. This mid-2010s survey captures a complex hydrologic network where the Turtle River feeds into the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, an expansive water body that reshaped the region's topography. The map documents a series of glacial lakes including First Black Lake, Second Black Lake, and Third Black Lake, alongside isolated waters like Lac de Beaumont and Moose Lake. While largely dominated by water and forest, the small settlement of Carter appears on the eastern edge. Local access is marked by a network of rural routes such as Russell Brothers Rd and N Musky Point Rd, providing a detailed look at how recreation and residency are integrated into this Northwoods river system.
