About this map

The South Fork Flambeau River defines the aquatic character of this northern Wisconsin landscape, winding through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The river's course is punctuated by several significant whitewater stretches, including Simons Rapids, Priest Lake Rapids, and Rocky Carry Rapids, indicating a significant drop in elevation across the township.

A system of rural roads like Flambeau Ave and Old 13 Rd provide access to numerous water bodies that likely serve as centers for local recreation and seasonal residency. Notable features include Priest Lake, situated near its namesake Priest Cr, and the larger Sailor Cr Flowage to the east. Further south, the landscape is marked by the presence of Solberg Lake and smaller basins such as Axels Lake and Coolidge Lake. The drainage patterns, reinforced by Rock Cr and Spring Cr, reveal a complex hydrologic environment characteristic of Price County's lake country.
