1999 Map of Aldridge Creek

About this map

Porcupine Mountains State Park and the Ottawa National Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, showcasing a complex network of waterways that flow north toward Lake Superior. The terrain is defined by the Porcupine Mountains and the Bergland highlands, where drainage systems like the Big Iron River and Little Iron River carve through the timberland. Historically, the area reflects the region's industrial past, evidenced by the White Pine Extension Mine located near the park boundary. Recreational development is prominent through the inclusion of the North Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses the northern ridges. Notable water features including Deer Creek Falls and Rapid River Falls highlight the significant elevation drops within the Bergland District during this turn-of-the-millennium survey.
