About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this Lake Superior shoreline map, where the Black River meets the inland sea. The landscape is defined by the dense drainage network of the Ottawa National Forest, featuring a concentration of named cascades along the river's final descent. Hikers and nature researchers can trace the North Country National Scenic Trl as it winds through the timber toward Black River Harbor.

The hydrography of this coastal region is particularly detailed, recording the locations of Great Conglomerate Falls, Potawatomi Falls, Sandstone Falls, and Rainbow Falls. Further west, Maple Creek feeds its own cataracts, including Maple Creek Falls and Manakiki Falls. These features represent a rugged geological transition where several small creeks, such as Poleface Creek and Chickadee Creek, converge near the harbor's mouth.
