2011 Map of Iron Lake NE

About this map

Iron River National Fish Hatchery anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Schacte Creek and the East Fork Iron River. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrological network, where the Flag River and its tributaries carve north through a dense grid of rural roads and forest service tracks. The terrain's elevation and strategic overlooks are marked by the Lenawee Lookout Tower in the east, providing a high-ground perspective over the surrounding woodlands and the upper reaches of the Cranberry River. Numerous family-named routes, such as Hjalmer Rd, Sonenson Rd, and E Simpson Rd, suggest a legacy of local landholding and forest management that persisted into the early 21st century. The map also traces intricate forest access routes like Battle Axe Rd and Slowbridge Rd, which navigate the drainage basins of the Lake Superior watershed.
