About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, straddling the border of Baraga and Marquette counties. This remote landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the headwaters of the Dead River and the winding course of the Yellow Dog River. A key geographical highlight is the series of cascades along the river, including Yellow Dog Falls and the West Branch Yellow Dog Falls, which descend through the northern timberlands.

Outdoor heritage is preserved via the N Country National Scenic Trail, which cuts across the southern half of the map, passing through the rugged topography near Lake Raymond and the Silver Lake Basin. The northeastern corner transitions into the relatively level Yellow-Dog Plains, while numerous smaller water bodies like Bulldog Lake, Lake Margaret, and Little Dishno Lake are scattered across the interior, illustrating the glacial character of the Michigan wilderness.
