About this map

Chaney Lake and a dense network of glacial water bodies dominate this borderland where the Upper Peninsula of Michigan meets northern Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by the Little Black River and a multitude of small, named lakes such as No Mans Lake, Pardee Lake, and Beatrice Lake. The absence of dense urban development is reflected in a road network characterized by logging-era routes like Mosinee Grade Rd and Zeckovich Grade Rd.

Remote settlements such as Camp Twelve Lake suggest a history of seasonal or resource-based habitation within the northern woods. Numerous wetlands and smaller water features like Virgin Lake and the Negro Lakes fill the depressions between low-lying ridges, illustrating the complex hydrography of Gogebic County. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that have shaped this timber and recreation region.
