2011 Map of Iron Mountain SW

About this map

Homestead serves as a central point of reference in this Wisconsin and Michigan borderland, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Pine River and the Menominee River. The drainage patterns in this area are complex, with the Little Popple River and its South Branch carving through the southern half of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey captures the network of local roads such as Ellwood Lake Rd and County Hwy-N that connect the numerous water bodies, including Ellwood Lake, Sand Lake, and Hauserman Lake. The distribution of these lakes and creeks reflects the post-glacial topography of the region, providing a detailed look at the hydrology along the state line. Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural road names and land divisions that frame the scattered settlements and natural landmarks throughout this section of Dickinson and Florence counties.
