2014 Map of Amasa

About this map

Amasa serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Hemlock River and Harrison Cr. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous glacial lakes such as Gibson Lake, Cemetery Lake, and Swan Lake, alongside the prominent Paint River which flows through the southern reaches. Local family and industrial history are etched into the road network, with names like Parks Farm Rd, Finn Farm Cr, and Warner Mine Rd suggesting the region's agricultural and extractive past. Genealogists will find the Hematite Cem near Amasa particularly significant, while the presence of Chicagon Falls and Chicagon Slough illustrates the wilder, unmanaged character of the river systems in this part of Iron County.
