2017 Map of Bruce Crossing

About this map

Bruce Crossing serves as the central hub of this Upper Peninsula landscape, situated where several regional roads converge amidst the heavily forested terrain of the Ottawa National Forest. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the Baltimore River, which winds through the western half of the quadrangle. Local genealogy and history are anchored at the Bruce Crossing Cem, located south of the main village. The surrounding area is characterized by a dense network of forest service roads, such as Nfst-731 and Nfst-734, which provide access to the timberlands and numerous waterways including Saint Cullins Cr and Mile and One-half Creek. This topography reflects the region's enduring reliance on the forest products industry and a rural layout where family-named roads like Gauthier Rd and Larson Rd connect isolated homesteads to the primary transport corridors.
