2017 Map of Carp River East

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern shoreline of this Ontonagon County landscape, where the elevation rises sharply into the wilderness of the Porcupine Mountains. This survey documents a complex network of waterways draining the highlands, including the Carp River and its major tributaries like Washington Cr and Scott Cr. High-altitude basins are represented by the celebrated Lake of the Clouds and the interior Mirror Lake, which feed the river systems through significant drops at Big Carp Falls and Shining Falls. The map details a dramatic topography defined by prominent summits such as Green Mtn Peak, Miscowawbic Peak, and LaFayette Peak. Human passage through this terrain is primarily traced by the 107th Engineers Memorial Hwy and the extensive N Country Trail, reflecting an area preserved for its natural features and remote water systems rather than urban development.
