About this map

Ottawa National Forest encompasses much of this landscape in the western Upper Peninsula, where the high, flat geography of the Baraga Plains creates a unique network of drainage and isolated basins. The southern portion of the map is defined by the route of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which skirts the edge of several small water bodies including Little Lake and Robillard Lake.

A notable historical marker of human activity appears at the Prison Camp label, situated along Baraga Plains Rd. This area is heavily forested and crisscrossed by a grid of specialized forest service roads such as Nfst-t2299 and Nfst-2247, facilitating access to the numerous creeks that feed into the region. Water features are particularly dense here, ranging from the falls at Ogemaw Falls to the sprawling Sixmile Cr Pond, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of Baraga County.
