About this map

The Turtle Flambeau Flowage dominates the western portion of this Iron County landscape, representing a significant intersection of natural river systems and human-engineered water management. To the east, the Lac du Flambeau Indian Res boundary marks a distinct transition in land use and historical heritage. The complex hydrography of the region is defined by the convergence of the Manitowish River, Flambeau River, and Bear River, which provided the primary transportation corridors for early residents and industry.

Small-scale settlements and access points like Murrays Landing and various named roads such as Bearskull Rd and N Ferry Lake Rd show the modern development of this lake country. Local landmarks like Bonies Mound and dozens of smaller water bodies, including Muskie Lake, Bearskull Lake, and Leach Lake, offer a detailed look at the geography used by outdoor enthusiasts and local families for generations. The map also traces the winding course of Springstead Cr as it feeds into the larger lake systems.
