About this map

The Porcupine Mountains dominate this 2019 survey, where the high ridges of the Upper Peninsula meet the shoreline of Lake Superior. This wilderness landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrography, including the perched Lake of the Clouds and Mirror Lake, which feed the descent of the Carp River and Little Carp River. The map details the elevation changes that create significant landmarks like Big Carp Falls and Shining Cloud Falls.

Modern infrastructure is limited to the northern edge along the 107th Engineers Memorial Hwy, while the interior is accessible primarily via the N Country National Scenic Trail. Named summits including Miscowawbic Peak, Green Mtn Peak, and LaFayette Peak provide a clear view of the complex topography within Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. The survey also captures smaller drainage systems such as Washington Cr, Scott Cr, and Landlookers Cr as they cut through the mountainous terrain.
