2023 Map of Carp River West

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern expanse of this coastal Michigan quadrant, where the waters of the Little Carp River flow toward the shoreline. The land here is defined by the sharp transition from the lake to the elevation of the Porcupine Mountains region, a landscape where water and terrain create distinct natural landmarks. Hikers and researchers can trace the path of the North Country National Scenic Trl as it winds through the southern portion of the map, crossing the county line between Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. Notable topographic features such as Bathtub Falls and Traders Falls indicate the steep drops and hydraulic character of the local river systems as they descend toward the Great Lakes basin.
