2011 Map of Florence East

About this map

Florence and the neighboring settlements of Commonwealth and Hematite anchor this 2011 survey, reflecting the area's transition from its iron-mining roots to a focus on its diverse waterways. The geography is defined by the complex confluence of the Michigamme River, Brule River, and Menominee River, which carve through the terrain near the Wisconsin-Michigan border. Local history is preserved at Woodlawn Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery, while the Buckeye Lookout Tower stands as a landmark on the higher ground southwest of the main town sites.
