About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern half of this coastal landscape, meeting the shoreline at the protected inlet of Black River Harbor. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of waterfalls where the river and its tributaries descend toward the Great Lakes, including Rainbow Falls, Manakiki Falls, and the notable Conglomerate Falls. These geological features are preserved within the Ottawa National Forest and along the protected corridor of the Black Wild and Scenic River.

The infrastructure here is largely recreational and conservation-focused, highlighted by the long-distance N Country National Scenic Trail which winds through the forested interior. Waterways like Maple Creek and Chickadee Cr drain the high ground, while Sagaigan Lake sits in the southeastern corner. This map documents a region where industry has largely given way to wilderness management, maintaining access via Maple Creek Rd for those visiting the numerous falls and harbor facilities.
