2015 Map of Pine Lake

About this map

Pine Lake and the surrounding woodlands of Iron County define this landscape near the Michigan border. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and drainage systems, including the W Fork Montreal River and Gile Flowage. Significant islands like Anchor Island and Paradise Island sit within Pine Lake, providing distinct geographic markers for the area. The map reveals a grid of rural roads, many bearing family or local names such as Abelson Rd, Kuusisto Rd, and Mutanen Rd, suggesting a history of local settlement and land use. Small lakes like Obadash Lake, Lake One, and Little Pine Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a web of creeks including Laymans Cr and Lake One Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the hydrologic features and the developing transportation network in the north woods during the early 21st century.
