2017 Map of Bergland

About this map

Lake Gogebic dominates the western edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the settlement of Bergland sits at the northern terminus of the lake. This area is characterized by a high concentration of recreational and forest infrastructure, as seen in the numerous trails such as Bergland Ski and the Bessemer Snowmobile #8. The map documents a heavily managed timber and conservation environment within the Ottawa National Forest, where the terrain rises toward Gogebic Ridge. Waterways like the West Branch Ontonagon River and Pig Iron River drain the surrounding highlands into the basin. Genealogists and local historians can find burial sites at Forest Lawn Cem and Lakeview Cem, both located north of the Bergland Bay shoreline, providing specific points of interest for family research in Ontonagon County.
