1970 Map of Hatfield SW

About this map

Iron Mound dominates the southwestern terrain of this section of the Black River State Forest, where industrial activity and natural wetlands converge. The landscape is heavily defined by its hydrography, featuring a complex network of impoundments like Staffon Flowage, Teal Flowage, and Schwartz Pool which support the regional ecology. This 1970s survey captures the intersection of land use within the Winnebago Indian Reservation, showing the proximity of tribal lands to heavy extraction sites. Evidence of local industry is clear from the Mining Railroad and a massive Tailings Pond near Bauer, while the remnants of an Old Railroad Grade and Komensky Station mark the former path of timber and ore transport through the Morrison Creek valley.
