About this map

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest dominates this landscape, where the waters of Pike Lake and Round Lake meet at the boundary of Price and Vilas counties. This northern Wisconsin woodland, as documented in 2005, is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the dedicated Mac Kinnsy Slough Wetland Habitat Area. The presence of the Round Lake Semi-Primitive Non Motorized Area suggests a commitment to preserving the quiet character of the region, emphasizing recreation through numerous boat ramps and carry-in access points.

Tracing the South Fork Flambeau River reveals the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement and conservation. Near the western edge of the Lac Du Flambeau Indian Reservation, the map identifies specific points of interest for local historians, such as Memorial Grove and the historical Chippewa Trail. From the secluded Ferry Springs to the small Landing Strip near the northern border, the map details the balance between wilderness management and local infrastructure at the start of the 21st century.
