1984 Map of Hart Lake

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses much of this Wisconsin landscape, where glacial kettles and moraines have created an intricate network of waterways. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor cuts across the central terrain, passing through the townships of Pilsen and Iron River. Significant water bodies like Long Lake, Island Lake, and Hart Lake are surrounded by a dense web of local roads, including Battleax Road and Lavin Road. Local history is anchored by the Valley View Cem in the northwest and the Iron River Lookout Tower, which served as a vital observation point for forest management. Recreational sites such as the Wanoka Lake Campground and Wayside Park reflect the area's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen and travelers in the mid-1980s.
