2011 Map of Oronto Bay

About this map

Oronto Bay dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the cold waters of Lake Superior meet the Iron County shoreline. This terrain is defined by its deep hydrography, notably the Montreal River which marks the state boundary and features both Superior Falls and Saxon Falls. Near the lakefront, the small cove of Saxon Harbor provides a focal point for maritime access amidst a network of drainage ways like Graveyard Creek and Oronto Creek. To the south, the settlement of Cedar and the Saxon Airport reflect the rural development of the region. Local history is anchored by the Lake View Cemetery and a grid of family-named roads such as Sands Rd and Moncher Rd, tracing the legacy of those who settled this timber and water-rich borderland during the early 21st century.
