About this map

The Brule River and Paint River define the jurisdictional boundary between Iron County, Michigan, and Florence County, Wisconsin, as seen in this 2018 survey. The landscape is dominated by glacial water bodies, including the notable Keyes Lake, Sea Lion Lake, and the aptly named Dead Mans Lake near Stager. These waterways were central to the region’s development, providing recreation and drainage for the surrounding timberlands.

Settlement patterns follow the local road network, with the community of Florence situated in the southeast. Smaller named points such as Tyran and Ridgetop punctuate the interior, while the topography features numerous creeks like Montagne Cr and Sevenmile Cr feeding into larger basins. This map preserves the contemporary layout of these Northwoods communities and their relationship with the river systems that once fueled the regional economy.
