About this map

Mondeaux Flowage serves as the central hub of this recreation-focused landscape within the Chequamegon National Forest. The map reflects a mid-century period of developed forest management, where the Mondeaux Dam controls the waters of the Mondeaux River to create a sprawling lake surrounded by numerous leisure sites. Extensive campground and picnic facilities, such as the Eastwood Campground and Lakeview Picnic Area, indicate the region's importance for local and regional tourism following the dam's construction.

Transportation and historic passage are marked by the presence of the Ice Age Trail winding through the timber, while an Old Railroad Grade north of Eleven Creek hints at the area's earlier logging history. The hydrology is diverse, featuring the connected North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake alongside isolated bodies like Bullhead Lake. This 1970 snapshot, updated with 1980s aerial data, provides a clear view of the intersection between glacial geography and planned forest recreation.
