About this map

The Flambeau River carves a winding path through this portion of Rusk County, forming the central hydrological feature of the landscape. Its waters broaden into the Thornapple Flowage near the settlement of Thornapple, where the Thornapple River also converges. The area is characterized by a high density of small lakes and creek systems, including Sunfish Lake, Long Lake, and Sexton Lake, which reflect the post-glacial topography of northern Wisconsin.

On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Ladysmith sits along the riverbanks, serving as a primary hub of development connected by roads like Lake Ave W and Sisters Farm Rd. Further south, the community of Port Arthur marks another point of settlement along the river. The map also reveals an extensive network of rural roads such as Sheep Ranch Rd and Sunfish Lake Rd, which provide access to the surrounding timberlands and agricultural tracts.
