1973 Map of Lake of The Falls

About this map

Lake of the Falls serves as the centerpiece of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Turtle River flows through a series of interconnected basins including First Black Lake, Second Black Lake, and Third Black Lake. The 1970s terrain is defined by its complex hydrography and the expansive reach of the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage to the south. Transportation history is etched into the woodland, visible in the Chicago and North Western rail line and an Old RR Grade passing through the small settlement of Carter. Further north, Moose Lake and Little Moose Lake dominate the higher ground, while the presence of a Winter Trail and several boat ramps suggests a region deeply tied to seasonal navigation and outdoor recreation. The map also captures local landmarks like Lake of the Falls County Park and the distinctively named Lac de Beaumont, documenting the area's established recreational and residential patterns.
