About this map

The northern reaches of the Ottawa National Forest dominate this landscape in Ontonagon County, centered on the historic mining-related settlement of White Pine. The map details a complex hydrographic network including the Mineral River and the Big Iron River, which drain toward Lake Superior. This terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Trap Hills and the prominent Gogebic Ridge, providing a clear view of the geological formations that have long drawn industry and outdoorsmen to Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Transportation through this dense forest is largely dictated by historical routes and recreation, from the long-distance N Country National Scenic Trail to the seasonal Bergland Snowmobile #1 (Snow). Water features like Little Trap Falls and secluded bodies such as Weidman Lake and Sleepy Pond highlight the preserved wilderness character of the region, while the inclusion of Old M 64 offers a reference point for those tracing the evolution of local road networks.
