2010 Map of Blaine Creek

About this map

The Iron River and its intricate tributaries define this Northwoods landscape in Bayfield County, where the river system converges at the Orienta Flowage 148. Regulated by the Orienta Dam and the Port Wing 2WP954 Dam, the water network reaches across the quadrangle through the East Fork Iron River, Blaine Creek, and Resch Creek. The map documents a rural infrastructure of family-named roads, such as Gulu Pedersen Rd, Hokkanen Rd, and Raivala Rd, which reflect the region's cultural heritage. Hillside Cemetery stands as a primary landmark for genealogists, situated along Evergreen Rd north of the winding Kolin Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of a remote logging and agricultural grid, where the headwaters of Muskeg Creek and Hill Creek transition into a landscape of dense drainage patterns flowing toward Lake Superior.
