2013 Map of Iron Lake

About this map

Iron River serves as the primary hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the namesake waterway flows through the center of town toward Mill Pond Lake. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, with larger basins like Iron Lake and Spider Lake surrounded by smaller, secluded waters such as Ahmeek Lake, Bismarck Lake, and Moon Lake. The transportation network is anchored by Us-2, which cuts east-west across the terrain, passing through Muskeg and providing access to the Bayfield County Airport. Local navigation relies on a grid of county highways and specialized tracks like Ahmeek Lake Trl and Gravel Pit Rd. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where the natural hydrography and forestry-related roads dictate the pattern of settlement and recreational land use.
