About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Superior meets the wooded interior of Iron County in this coastal survey. The settlement of Birch serves as a central point along the local road network, where routes like Res Hwy 45 and Old Hwy 10 intersect. The landscape is heavily defined by its drainage patterns, with numerous waterways including Graveyard Creek, Nawago Creek, and Morrison Creek flowing toward the great lake.

Strategic vantage points and recreational sites are scattered throughout the territory, most notably the Birch Ridge Lookout Tower and the Waverly Campground situated near the coast. Distinctive coastal features like Marble Point and the secluded Honest John Lake highlight the transition from the upland forests to the water's edge. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when fire observation infrastructure and rural highway alignments continued to shape the local geography.
