1970 Map of Hatfield SW

About this map

Industrial activity and wetlands define this portion of Jackson County, where the Jackson County Iron Mine and its accompanying Mine Dump dominate the western landscape. A massive Tailings Pond is a prominent landmark just north of Iron Mound, reflecting the scale of mineral extraction in the early 1970s. This resource extraction is balanced by the preservation of the Black River State Forest, which covers much of the central and eastern portions of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of man-made flowages, including Staffon Flowage, Teal Flowage, and Wildcat Flowage, which serve as a reminder of the area's water management and conservation history. Small settlements like Valentine and Komensky Station sit along the periphery of these marshes, connected by rural routes such as Morrison Road and Battle Point Road.
