2013 Map of Gurney

About this map

Gurney and Sedgwick anchor this northern Wisconsin landscape, where a dense network of tributaries feeds into the major regional waterways. The Potato River winds through the center of the quadrangle, punctuated by the Potato River Falls near the intersection of Falls Rd and Wi-169. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring numerous named creeks such as Vaughn Cr, Feldcher Cr, and Tyler Forks. A system of rural roads and fire lanes, including the Sullivan Fire Ln and Elm Hoist Rd, provides access through the timbered areas and lowlands. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of Iron County, showing the intersection of local transportation routes like Cameron Rd and Vogues Rd with the natural drainage patterns that have shaped settlement and land use in this part of the Lake Superior watershed.
