About this map

The Porcupine Mountains dominate this 2011 survey, where the high ridges of the Upper Peninsula meet the shoreline of Lake Superior. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and drainage systems, featuring prominent summits such as Miscowawbic Peak and Green Mountain Peak. The interior is marked by a network of waterways including the Carp River, which feeds into significant landmarks like Lake of the Clouds and Mirror Lake.

Along the coast, small access points like Buckshot Landing and LaFayette Landing provide connection to the water, while the Porcupine Mtn Wilderness Trl suggests the area's use for backcountry navigation. The map captures several hydrographic features that are central to the region's geography, most notably the Big Carp Falls and Shining Cloud Falls, illustrating the descent of the watershed toward the Great Lake. This document records the persistent wilderness character of Ontonagon County during the early 21st century.
