2017 Map of Baraga Plains

About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a complex network of waterways and glacial features. The central Baraga Plains area is defined by its sandy upland plateaus, providing a distinct contrast to the drainages of Sixmile Cr, Menge Cr, and Ogemaw Cr. Notable for outdoor recreation and local history, the sheet documents the path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds through the southern timberlands. The inclusion of the Prison Camp and numerous forest service roads like Jug Rd and Nfst-2247 indicates the managed nature of this wilderness. Water features are abundant, from the secluded Kelly Lake to the dramatic Ogemaw Falls, illustrating the region's hydrography before it feeds into the larger Great Lakes watershed.
