2022 Map of Gurney

About this map

The Potato River and its numerous tributaries, including Vaughn Cr and Tyler Forks, carve through the Northwoods of Ashland and Iron Counties. This modern survey illustrates the rugged drainage patterns of the region, featuring the Potato River Falls and a network of smaller streams like Winks Cr and Barr Cr. Human settlement is sparse and concentrated along rural corridors, with the small community of Gurney situated near the eastern boundary and the site of Sedgwick to the west. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key burial grounds such as Edgewood Cem and Saint John's Lutheran Cem. Recreational infrastructure is highlighted by the North Country National Scenic Trl, which meanders through the landscape, crossing numerous waterways and forest roads that define the area's contemporary accessibility.
