About this map

The South Fork Flambeau River carves a winding path through this Northwoods landscape, characterized by numerous river hazards including Simons Rapids, Boars Rapids, and Rock Ledge Rapids. This modern topographic study shows a territory defined by its complex hydrology, where Sailor Creek feeds the expansive Sailor Creek Flowage and smaller water bodies like Priest Lake and Axels Lake dot the glacial terrain.

A network of rural routes such as Lugerville-Grape Rd and Mount Pelee Rd provide access to the dense woodlands and wetlands. The geography reveals a legacy of seasonal recreation and timberland management, with many roads named for early families or local landmarks, such as White Rock Rd and Hicks Landing Rd. In the southeastern corner, the northern reach of Solberg Lake appears near the confluence of Deer Creek and Disappearing Creek Rd.
