2018 Map of Oronto Bay

About this map

Saxon Harbor serves as a focal point on the southern coast of Lake Superior, where the shoreline of Oronto Bay meets a network of northern Wisconsin waterways. This 2018 survey captures the interface between Iron County, Wisconsin, and Gogebic County, Michigan, defined by the winding course of the Sturgeon R and several smaller tributaries like Graveyard Cr and Carpenter Cr. Further inland, the landscape is marked by the small settlement of Cedar and the Saxon Airport, situated amidst the wooded reaches of the Ottawa National Forest. Local history is anchored by Lake View Cem and the natural drop of Saxon Falls on the state border. The map documents a rural infrastructure of named roads, such as Co Hwy A and Kokley Rd, that connect isolated homesteads to the harbor and regional timberlands.
