2011 Map of Pike Lake SW

About this map

Wilson Flowage dominates the central landscape of this northern Wisconsin territory, illustrating a hydrology shaped by both natural watercourses and man-made impoundments. The network of drainage is anchored by the Elk River, which receives flow from numerous named tributaries including Popple Creek, Spring Creek, and Riley Creek. This 2011 survey reflects the modern management of these timberlands, where access is dictated by a grid of specialized routes such as Riley Lake Rd, Hemlock Rd, and Sheep Ranch Rd. The presence of Schmuland Flowage and Riley Lake alongside smaller basins like Mud Lake highlights the saturated character of the Price County terrain, which remains largely dedicated to forestry and watershed protection rather than dense residential development.
