About this map

Chequamegon National Forest defines the character of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where an intricate network of lakes and springs dots the transition from Iron and Price Counties. The hydrology is particularly prominent, centered on the South Fork Flambeau River as it passes through Cedar Rapids and Smith Rapids. Numerous named water bodies like Patterson Lake, Whitcomb Lake, and Newman Lake illustrate the glaciated terrain of the Northwoods.

Transportation through these timberlands relies on a system of forest roads, including Shady Knoll Rd and Blockhouse Lake Rd. The presence of Springstead Airport near Marty Lake serves as a modern waypoint in a region largely dedicated to conservation and seasonal camps, such as Camp Nine Springs and Camp Four Springs. Local history and land management are evident in features like Robert Sells Flowage 1 and the various township lines that organize these remote sections of the forest.
