1940 Map of Upson

About this map

The Montreal River and the Potato River carve through the northwoods of Iron County, defining a landscape of timber and early industrial extractivism. Near the township of Iron Belt, the density of rail lines like the Chicago and Northwestern and the Sault Ste Marie and Minneapolis highlights the region's importance as a transportation corridor for northern Wisconsin. While towns like Montreal and Pence anchor the eastern edge, the interior is marked by isolation, containing seasonal sites such as LeClair Camp and McIver Camp tucked away near Island Lake.
