2011 Map of Bruce Crossing

About this map

The Bruce Crossing junction in Michigan's Upper Peninsula serves as the primary hub of this 2011 survey, situated where the Baltimore River and numerous tributaries like Clear Creek carve through the landscape. This region of Ontonagon County maintains a distinctly rural character, with the settlement of Balitmore to the west and Gem to the east. Local history is anchored at the Bruce Crossing Cemetery and the Bruce Crossing Post Office, which reflect the community's enduring geographic footprint. The drainage pattern is intricate, defined by uniquely named waterways such as Mile and One-half Creek and Saint Cullins Creek. While much of the area is crisscrossed by forest roads like 705 and 739, modern developments like the Perttus Big Spruce Golf Course appear alongside established family-named routes, including Jousma Rd and Nurkkala Rd.
