2019 Map of Beaton

About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the Gogebic and Ontonagon county line passes through a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways. The Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River corridor, specifically the Middle Br Ontonagon River, creates a protected natural artery through the center of the sheet. The small settlement of Beaton sits near the western edge, surrounded by family-named landmarks and remote water bodies like Beatons Lake and Wolf Lake. Transportation is defined by a web of forest service roads and local tracks like Fire Tower Rd and Co Line Lake Rd, alongside the Northwoods Airport, which provides access to this secluded lake-studded territory near the Wisconsin border. The map illustrates the region's character as a managed wilderness, balancing conservation with recreation and local infrastructure.
