About this map

The Yellow Dog River and its dramatic tributaries define this wilderness pocket of the Upper Peninsula as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including the Yellow Dog Falls and the West Branch Yellow Dog Falls, which indicate the sharp elevation changes of the Michigamme Highlands. To the south, the Dead River Headwater emerges near Lake Raymond, marking a significant hydrological divide in Baraga County.

Water management and natural basins are central to this area's geography, visible in the expansive Silver Lake Basin fed by Wildcat Canyon Creek. While largely devoid of named settlements, the map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources and water sheds, with naming conventions like White Deer Lake and Little Dishno Lake reflecting the local nomenclature of the Northwoods. The inclusion of Wildcat Cr Rd provides the primary point of terrestrial access into this dense forest and river system.
