2011 Map of Baraga Plains

About this map

Baraga Plains dominates this landscape in Baraga County, defined by a complex network of waterways feeding the Upper Peninsula's watersheds. The area is characterized by a mix of upland plains and significant water features, including the notable Ogemaw Falls situated along Ogemaw Creek. The presence of the Prison Cp and Baraga Plains Rd indicates the human infrastructure supporting this relatively undeveloped region. Numerous creeks like Sixmile Creek, Menge Creek, and Nesters Creek carve through the terrain, punctuated by isolated bodies of water such as Engman Lake and Little Lake. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness character and hydrology of the plains, where small lakes and named rapids like those on Ogemaw Creek serve as the primary landmarks.
