1956 Map of Saxon

About this map

Saxon serves as the primary hub in this corner of Iron County, situated at a vital railroad junction where the Chicago and North Western and Duluth South Shore and Atlantic lines converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Potato River and its tributaries, cutting through townships including Gurney and Saxon. Local community life is anchored by the County Fairground and religious sites like Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem at the southern edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Blueberry Marsh to the elevated vantage point of the Upson Lookout Tower. This mapping captures the industrial and agricultural infrastructure of northern Wisconsin, from the timber-rich forests near Weber Lake to the complex drainage patterns of Vaughn Creek and Lawrence Creek.
