The Iron Range

Hurley and even smaller Montreal lie in the midst of the mighty Penokee Iron Range as well as the over-the-border Gogebic Iron Range, the last and most massive of the Upper Peninsula’s three prodigious iron deposits, long since depleted. The range, for many Wisconsinites, has been unfairly relegated to backwater status—too many news reports in southern Wisconsin mentioned the population flight from Iron County in the bad old days of economic decline. And while it is true the county ranks low in population and thus doesn’t have the tax base to pretty things up like more populous areas, Iron County has important history and even some outstanding topography. The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage is one of the most wilderness-like stretches of any northern river, and Iron County has almost as many waterfalls as Marinette County, across the state. Marinette may have more, but no falls beat Iron County’s for sheer height and isolation.
