2011 Map of Beaton

About this map

Beaton is a small settlement point within this glaciated reach of the Upper Peninsula, characterized by an exceptionally dense concentration of named lakes and interconnected waterways. The landscape is defined by the Middle Branch Ontonagon River, which drains a complex basin including Wolf Lake, Ogima Lake, and Cowslip Lake. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Watersmeet Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for forest management, while the Northwoods Center Conference Airport serves as a remote aviation link. Recreational development is evident through the Ottawa Campground and numerous access points like Beaton Lake Rd and County Line Lake Rd. Smaller water bodies such as Hemlock Lake and Little Beatons Lake dot the northern terrain, indicating a landscape heavily utilized for seasonal outdoor activity and timber management.
