About this map

The Michigamme Reservoir dominates this Iron County landscape, its sprawling reach flooding the confluence of the Fence River and the Michigamme River. Established during the wartime mobilization of the mid-1940s, the reservoir and the Way Dam represent a significant transformation of the local hydrology for hydroelectric power. Along the southern shore, the settlement of Kiernan serves as a small focal point near the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line, which cuts an east-west path across the map.
