About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest dominates this section of Price County, where the South Fork Flambeau River winds through a dense network of wetlands and glacial lakes. This landscape is defined by its water features, from the cascading waters at Cedar Rapids and Smith Rapids to the quiet reaches of Patterson Lake, Newman Lake, and Nettie B Lake. The presence of the Robert Sells Flowage and various spring-fed streams like Byhre Creek and Beaver Creek indicates a complex hydrological system integral to the region's ecology.

Transportation through this forested interior relies heavily on specialized trails rather than traditional roads. The network includes the Price Co Snowmobile 106 Trl and various ATV routes such as the Flambeau Atv 111 Trl. Local aviation history is represented by the Springstead Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle. For those interested in traditional travel routes, the Whitcomb Lake Portage Trl remains a notable feature, connecting the numerous lakes that have long served as the primary transit corridors of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
