About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Bayfield County landscape, where the jagged shoreline at Roman Point gives way to the sheltered waters of Bark Bay. This 2011 survey captures a rural environment defined by its drainage systems, including the meandering path of the Bark River and the tiered tributaries of Lost Creek Number One, Two, and Three. The interior is marked by small-scale infrastructure like Vietmeier Airport and the Herbster Cemetery, tucked among a grid of local roads like Nicoletti Rd and Town Line Rd.

Further south, the landscape transitions into more densely wooded terrain within the national forest system, evidenced by numerous Forest Service routes such as FR 439. Water remains a central theme throughout, from the inland Siskiwit Lake to the southern reaches of the East Fork Cranberry River and Lenawee Creek. This documentation provides a clear look at the intersection of private land and public forest at the start of the 2010s.
