2013 Map of Pike Lake NW

About this map

The South Fork Flambeau River defines the lower half of this landscape, its course marked by landmarks like Little Cedar Rapids, Cedar Rapids, and Smith Rapids. This river-centric region in northern Wisconsin is characterized by an extensive system of natural lakes and managed waters, including Robert Sells Flowage 1 and Kabol Lake. Transportation is anchored by the corridor of State Hwy 70 and the north-south route past the Springstead Airport. The land is dotted with natural springs such as Newman Springs and Camp Four Springs, indicating a landscape rich in groundwater and drainage that feeds into the broader Beaver Creek and Byhre Creek systems. Public access points like the Smith River Campground show the intersection of the natural river environment with modern recreation, while a network of forest roads like Shady Knoll Rd and Blockhouse Lake Rd provides access to more remote water bodies such as Nettie B Lake and Thompson Lake.
