2022 Map of Blaine Creek

About this map

Iron River and its numerous tributaries, including the East Fork Iron River and Blaine Cr, carve through this section of northern Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with minor waterways like Muskeg Cr and Resch Cr feeding into the larger river system. Human presence is marked by a grid of rural roads, often named for local families or geographical landmarks such as Saarkinen Rd, Hokkanen Rd, and Pudas Rd, suggesting a history of Scandinavian settlement common to the region. Near the center of the survey lies Hillside Cem, a significant point for genealogists researching families from the surrounding townships. The map details the transition from the upland roads like Copper Hill Rd down to the creek beds of Schaefer Cr and Middle Cr in the southeastern quadrant.
