2013 Map of Blaine Creek

About this map

Iron River and its intricate drainage network define the geography of this northern Wisconsin landscape. In the northwest corner, the river expands into the Orienta Flowage 148, while the E Fork Iron River meanders across the central and eastern sections, joined by smaller tributaries like Kolin Cr and Blaine Cr. The land is organized by a grid of rural roads, many bearing names that reflect the area's local history and family heritage, such as Hokkanen Rd, Kaukamo Rd, and Oulu Pedersen Rd. The presence of roads like Muskeg Rd and names like Muskeg Cr point to the characteristic wetland terrain common in Bayfield County. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and natural waterways before further modern development, making it a valuable tool for understanding the settlement patterns of this region.
