2011 Map of Bergland

About this map

Lake Gogebic dominates the southwestern portion of this map, its northern shoreline serving as the focal point for the community of Bergland. In the early 21st century, the area is characterized by a mix of recreational infrastructure and established local services, including the Bergland Post Office and Bergland Township Park Picnic Area. The terrain is carved by a complex drainage network, with the Big Iron River and the West Branch Ontonagon River flowing through the north and east. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, specifically Forest Lawn Cemetery and Lakeview Cemetery, which sit just north of the township center. The landscape remains largely defined by its water bodies, from smaller features like Stanko Lake and Berland Lake to the numerous tributaries such as Knute Creek and Amundson Creek that feed into the larger river systems of Ontonagon County.
