About this map

The Porcupine Mountains dominate this 2014 survey along the shoreline of Lake Superior, where the terrain rises sharply from the water to prominent high points. Distinctive landforms such as Green Mtn Peak, Miscowawbic Peak, and Lafayette Peak provide a topographical frame for the interior river systems, including the Carp River and the Little Carp River. These waterways are punctuated by significant natural features like Shining Cloud Falls and Big Carp Falls as they drain toward the lake.

Along the coast, isolated points of entry like Buckshot Landing and LaFayette Landing suggest a landscape primarily defined by water access and wilderness preservation. Inland, the high-elevation Lake of the Clouds and Mirror Lake are situated near the 107th Engineers Memorial Hwy, which provides the primary vehicular corridor through this section of Ontonagon County. The map also captures the confluence of local drainages like Scott Cr, Trail Cr, and Washington Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the western Upper Peninsula.
