2018 Map of Borea

About this map

Borea sits at the heart of this Douglas County landscape, where the meandering drainage of the Nemadji River and Black River systems creates a complex network of ravines and waterways. The area is defined by small, dispersed settlements like Dedham, Boylston, and Dewey, connected by a grid of rural routes and family-named roads such as Mertes Rd and Graves Rd. A notable topographical shift occurs in the southeast, where the terrain breaks at Rocky Gorge and the waters of the Black River reach Little Manitou Falls. This map captures the region's character as a transition between upland forests and the river valleys that feed toward Lake Superior. Local history and geography are preserved through specific landmarks like Iron Dale Rd, suggesting the area's industrial or mining legacy, alongside numerous named tributaries including Balsam Cr and Little Pokegama River.
