About this map

The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage dominates this portion of Iron County, reflecting a complex hydrographic landscape defined by the confluence of the Manitowish River and the Flambeau River. This 2022 survey captures a wilderness characterized by intricate shorelines and numerous isolated water bodies like Wilson Lake, Grant Lake, and West Randall Lake. The presence of landmarks such as Bonies Mound suggests a topography of glacial deposits that rise above the surrounding wetlands and marshes.

Local transportation is limited to a network of winding roads like Murray Landing Rd and Ferry Lake Rd, which provide access to remote landings and private camps. The map documents the persistent nature of this northwoods environment, where small features like Hourglass Lake and Cap Henry Lake remain separated by dense forest cover and seasonally flooded lowlands. This specialized landscape remains largely unchanged from earlier eras, maintaining a primitive character focused on the waterways and the natural divide marked by Springstead Cr.
