2011 Map of Phelps

About this map

Phelps serves as the central hub of this lake-strewn landscape in the early 21st century, situated near the western shore of North Twin Lake. The geography is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, from the expansive Lac Vieux Desert at the northern edge to the winding Deerskin River and Thoroughfare Creek in the south. Aviation and forestry history are visible through the Lac Vieux Desert Seaplane Base and the Military Hill Fire Tower, which stands atop Military Hill. This map documents a recreation-heavy region where many water bodies, such as Sugar Maple Lake, Afterglow Lake, and Long Lake, are connected by a mesh of secondary roads like Sugar Maple Rd and Old 70 Rd. The southeastern corner provides a look at local leisure sites including the Spectacle Lake Campground along the shores of Spectacle Lake.
