About this map

Lake Gogebic dominates this part of the Upper Peninsula, its waters meeting the shore along Shore Road and East Shore Road. The settlement of Bergland sits at the north end of the lake, serving as a focal point for the region's infrastructure, including a gas pipeline and the Bergland Dam Gage Sta on the West Branch Ontonagon River. The township's character is defined by the surrounding Ottawa National Forest, where the landscape is carved by numerous waterways like Knute Creek, Three Beers Creek, and Indian Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Forest Lawn Cem north of the village and the smaller settlement of Amundson near the northern boundary. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water such as Stanko Lake, Bergland Lake, and Weary Lake. This survey illustrates the 1980s intersection of managed timberland, recreational shoreline, and the local utility network that supported these small Ontonagon County communities.
