About this map

Industrial infrastructure and protected wilderness converge in this detailed mapping of the Ottawa National Forest near the turn of the 21st century. The map centers on the northern reach of the Trap Hills, where the National Scenic Trail winds through high ground overlooking the Big Iron River and its numerous tributaries. To the north, the presence of the White Pine Mine and the adjacent settlement of White Pine signals the area's copper mining legacy, supported by the Anderson Pipeline and Mineral Pipeline networks that traverse the landscape.

Remote hydrology is a defining characteristic of this terrain, featuring Little Trap Falls and several isolated water bodies including Weidman Lake and Stanko Lake. Evidence of human activity is scattered through the timbered sections, from the Krobath Cabin in the east to various Quarries and a prominent Communication Tower. The western edge includes a portion of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, highlighting the transition from active resource extraction to forest conservation and recreation.
