About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the western Upper Peninsula, where the Gogebic Ridge and Trap Hills form a prominent highland spine. This terrain is defined by a complex drainage network feeding into the Big Iron River and the Mineral River. The settlement of White Pine appears at the northern edge, connected to the backcountry by a legacy of forest roads and historic routes like Old M 64. The long-distance N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the topography, passing near landmarks such as Little Trap Falls and Sleepy Pond. Local history and recreational patterns are evident in the dense system of numbered National Forest System Trails, such as Nfst-338-A and Nfst-449, alongside the Bergland Snowmobile #1 route, reflecting the area's transition toward a recreational and conservation-focused landscape.
