1982 Map of Siren West

About this map

The Clam River meanders through the northeast corner of this glacial landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and namesake basins. Large conservation tracts like the Amsterdam Sloughs State Public Hunting Grounds and Crex Meadows State Public Hunting Grounds dominate the central and northwestern sections, reflecting the region's managed wilderness character during the early 1980s. The village of Siren serves as the primary hub, situated near the shores of Crooked Lake and Kapes L. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Chelmo Cem and Karlsborg Cem, while the Siren Lookout Tower and Radio Tower stand as prominent landmarks. This era shows a community closely tied to its water resources, with numerous public access points along Mud Hen Lake and Dunham Lake.
