2014 Map of North Ironwood

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this 2014 survey along the Michigan-Wisconsin border. The landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Ottawa National Forest, where numerous waterways like Montreal Cr, Triplett Cr, and Spirit Cr drain toward the Great Lake. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain opens into a network of rural roads and small settlements that reflect the area's local history. The community of North Ironwood sits near the Gogebic-Iron County Airport, while the hamlet of Junet is located further west along the Montreal River. This map captures a specific moment in the evolution of these borderland communities, showing the established grid of family-named routes such as Niemi Ln, Vanderhagen Rd, and Piilola Rd that connect the isolated homesteads and corners.
