2018 Map of Wilson Lake

About this map

The Turtle Flambeau Flowage dominates the northwestern landscape of this Iron County region, where the Manitowish River and Bear River converge amidst a dense network of glacial lakes. In 2018, the area remains a complex aquatic environment, characterized by large water bodies like Wilson Lake and Grant Lake, as well as numerous smaller basins such as Mirror Lake and Lehto Lake. The terrain is marked by notable elevations like Bonies Mound, while the hydrology is further defined by the Springstead Cr drainage. Human presence is evidenced by a detailed road network including Murray Landing Rd and Ferry Lake Rd, which provide access to these remote waters. This survey documents the contemporary state of these Northern Wisconsin wetlands and the intricate waterways that have shaped the local recreational and ecological character for generations.
