About this map

Sunset Lake and its surrounding cluster of smaller water bodies, including Lake Nine and Lake Sixteen, form the southern focal point of this Iron County landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Paint River and Net River wind through the northern sections, joined by numerous tributaries such as Barnetts Creek and Morrison Creek.

A network of local roads reveals a pattern of rural development and family-named landmarks, such as Parks Farm Rd, Heikkila Rd, and Forsberg Rd. The presence of Little Finland Rd hints at the cultural heritage of the Upper Peninsula’s settlers. Along the eastern bend of the Paint River, Me-Squa-L-Cum-E Park stands as a notable public landmark amidst the dense network of creeks like Crystal Spring Creek and Olson Creek.
