1984 Map of Iron Lake NE

About this map

The National Fish Hatchery sits at the confluence of several waterways in the southern portion of this region, emphasizing the importance of the local watershed to 1980s conservation efforts. Much of the terrain is defined by the Chequamegon National Forest, where the landscape is etched with the remnants of industrial history. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the central township, marking a previous era of timber transport that once dominated the northern woods. Numerous family-named roads, such as Larson Road, Mc Lean Road, and Hessey Road, cross the land, providing a record of local land ownership and rural settlement patterns. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the Iron River, Kolin Creek, and the headwaters of the Flag River, while secluded water bodies like Pine Lake and Bladder Lake anchor the interior forest.
