2013 Map of Mercer

About this map

The town of Mercer serves as the central hub of this Iron County landscape, positioned amidst a dense concentration of glacial lakes and waterways. Development is clustered around the Echo Lake and Grand Portage Lake shores, while the Mercer Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the surrounding forests. The local geography is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Turtle River and Manitowish River navigate through a network including Spider Lake, Oxbow Lake, and San Domingo Lake. To the southeast, the settlement of Manitowish marks a significant point along the winding river. Transportation patterns are anchored by Us-51, with historical transit remnants visible in the form of RR Grade 1. This map captures the established recreational and residential footprints around the water, from the small clusters at Little Martha Lake to the more secluded northern reaches of Lake Ten and Deertail Lake.
