1971 Map of Pike Lake

About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest defines this lake-studded landscape in northern Wisconsin, where the Price, Iron, Vilas, and Oneida county lines converge. The central water system is dominated by the chain of Pike Lake, Round Lake, and Big Pine Lake, which connect to the South Fork Flambeau River. In 1971, the area shows signs of recreation and forestry management, including the Fishtrap Campground and the Lookout Tower at Sentinel Point. The eastern edge of the survey is bounded by the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation Boundary, while the Chippewa Trail provides a historical terrestrial route through the dense network of small water bodies like Apeekwa Lake and Amik Lake. This survey is particularly useful for identifying the specific lake depths and drainage patterns before later development altered these Northwoods shorelines.
