About this map

The Potato River and its dramatic Potato River Falls dominate this section of Iron County, where the northern Wisconsin landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways. Small settlements like Gurney and Sedgwick serve as the primary hubs in an area otherwise characterized by timber and agricultural lands. Family and community heritage is anchored at Saint Johns Cemetery and Edgewood Cemetery, while transportation is facilitated by rural corridors such as Potato River Rd and Vogues Rd.

The hydrography of the region is notably complex, with numerous tributaries including Vaughn Creek, Tyler Forks, and Camp Four Creek draining the terrain. The presence of the Spud River Landing Strip indicates the specialized local infrastructure of the early 21st century. This survey provides a clear view of the rural township structure before further modern development, preserving the locations of early fire lanes and local access roads used by generations of residents.
