About this map

Saxon sits at the northern edge of this Iron County landscape, where the local road network—including Old Hwy 10 and Church St—serves a rural community defined by its proximity to the Lake Superior watershed. The terrain is a complex of wetlands and waterways, featuring the prominent Blueberry Marsh and the winding course of the Potato River. These hydrographic features, alongside smaller streams like Vaughn Cr and Lawrence Creek, illustrate the drainage patterns typical of northern Wisconsin's timber and recreation lands.

Outdoor recreation and local heritage are central to this area. The North Country National Scenic Trail traverses the southern half of the map, passing near high-relief points and water bodies such as Weber Lake and Upson Lake. Genealogists will find the Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem clustered together in the southern section along Co Trunk E, providing a focal point for tracing the area's family histories and early settlement patterns.
