2019 Map of Carp River West

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern reaches of this coastal quadrangle, where the cold waters of the Great Lakes meet the shoreline of the Upper Peninsula. Along the southern edge, the topography rises into the Porcupine Mountains, a terrain defined by ancient geological formations and dense forest. The N Country National Scenic Trail winds through this wilderness, providing access to the remote interior where the Little Carp River and Toledo Cr drain toward the lake. The map reveals the dramatic descent of these waters over features like Bathtub Falls and Traders Falls. Straddling the border between Ontonagon County and Gogebic County, the area represents a largely undeveloped stretch of Michigan's wilderness, preserved for its natural character rather than industrial or residential expansion.
