1973 Map of Turtle-Flambeau Flowage

About this map

Turtle-Flambeau Flowage dominates this Northwoods landscape, its labyrinthine shoreline and numerous islands creating a complex aquatic environment in Mercer and Sherman. The regulation of these waters is marked by the Turtle Dam, which manages the outflow of the Flambeau River at the western edge of the main reservoir. Significant conservation lands surround the water, including the Big Island State Wildlife Area and the Hay Creek-Hoffman Lake State Wildlife Area, protecting the transition between the vast flowage and the surrounding timberland.
