1947 Map of Iron Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Iron River serves as the primary hub for this portion of the northern Wisconsin lake country, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad cuts through a dense network of water bodies and marshlands. The landscape is dotted with small-scale rural infrastructure typical of the mid-20th century, including numerous district schoolhouses such as Blaine Sch and Miles Sch, alongside local landmarks like the Town Hall. The transition from the cleared farmland near Kolin and Miles to the heavily forested eastern tracts is marked by the National Forest Bdy, where the Iron River Fire Tower and Lenawee Fire Tower stand as essential outposts for woodland management. A complex hydrology is visible through the many kettle lakes like Jackman Lake and Silver Sack Lake, which dominate the central and southern portions of the survey.
