About this map

The Flambeau River winds through a dense landscape of glaciated wetlands and timberland within the Flambeau River State Forest at the start of the 1970s. This survey captures the small settlement of Oxbo along the river, characterized by recreational infrastructure like Wayside Park and several scattered Canoe Campsites. The region is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including the expansive Connors Lake and the elongated Long Lake, interspersed with specific landmarks like the Connors Lake Lookout Tower and the remote Mason Lake Landing Field.

The boundary between Sawyer Co and Price Co bisects this wilderness, where conservation efforts are evident in the Kimberly-Clark Wildlife Area. Navigation through the woods is facilitated by local routes such as Boyds Road and Lower Price Lake Road. From the churning Barnaby Rapids to the quiet reaches of Deadman Slough, the map documents a transition point where resource management, aviation, and Northwoods recreation converged.
