About this map

The settlement of Amasa serves as the primary hub of this Iron County landscape, positioned near the Hemlock River and Little Hemlock River. The town's historical roots in the region's mining industry are evidenced by infrastructure like Warner Mine Rd, while the Hematite Cem reflects the genealogy of early residents near the banks of Cemetery Lake. The map reveals a dense network of water bodies and marshlands, including Gibson Lake, Fire Lake, and Swan Lake, connected by numerous creeks and sloughs.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, with the Paint River winding through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Distinctive natural landmarks such as Chicagon Falls and the Chicagon Slough characterize the southern reaches. Local family-named roads like Pakkala Rd, Maki Rd, and Virostek Rd branch off from the main corridor of Old US Hwy 141, providing researchers with a detailed look at the rural homesteading patterns that define the region.
