About this map

Black River State Forest covers much of this landscape, which is defined by a complex network of flowages and marshes. The transition from natural water bodies like Morrison Creek and Hay Creek to managed wetlands is evident in features such as Staffon Flowage, Dry Land Flowage, and Teal Flowage. This 1970s-era geography reflects both conservation and specialized agriculture, notably the Cranberry Bog situated near the headwaters of the Black River.

Industrial activity is concentrated in the southwest, dominated by the Jackson County Iron Mine Iron Mound. This massive operation includes a dedicated Mining Railroad, extensive Mine Dump areas, and a large circular Tailings Pond. Local history and land use are further marked by the Winnebago Indian Reservation and the former stop at Komensky Station, providing a detailed look at the intersection of industry, indigenous territory, and timber management.
