About this map

The McCormick Wilderness within the Ottawa National Forest defines this part of Marquette County, preserving a landscape of interconnected water bodies and dense woods at the close of the twentieth century. The map highlights a significant hydrological divide where the Dead River Headwaters begin their journey, contrasting with the Escanaba River and Yellow Dog River systems. Settlement is nearly absent, represented only by a lone Gravel Pit and a few specialized markers like the Panorama Lookout.

Transit through this secluded terrain is limited to primitive routes such as the Triple A Road and dedicated footpaths. Hikers can trace the North Country Trail as it winds through the southern reaches, while the Yellow Dog Falls Trail provides access to the falls area. The northern expanse is dominated by the level Yellow Dog Plains, a distinct physiographic feature that stands in contrast to the numerous basins like Bulldog Lake, Margaret Lake, and the Silver Lake Basin.
