About this map

The Iron River winds through this section of Bayfield County, dominated by the township divisions of Orienta, Oulu, Port Wing, and Tripp. In the northern portion of the map, the Orienta Dam regulates the river's flow near a dedicated Public Access point. This 1980s landscape is defined by a dense network of local roads named for early families and settlers, including Severson Road, Sorenson Road, and Carlson Road.

Several smaller waterways such as Blaine Creek, East Fork Iron River, and Schacte Creek feed into the main river system, carving through the rural terrain. Local community life is anchored by the Hillside Cem and the small cluster at Townhall, reflecting a period of established agricultural and timber-related land use. The presence of several Gravel Pits suggests the ongoing importance of local mineral extraction for regional infrastructure during this era.
