2011 Map of Choate

About this map

Choate serves as the focal settlement in this northern Michigan wilderness, where the landscape is defined by the complex convergence of the South Branch Ontonagon River and the Cisco Branch Ontonagon River. The topography is etched by an intricate network of drainage, including Tenmile Creek, Twomile Creek, and Sucker Creek, which flow through the dense forest lands of Ontonagon County. Along the Cisco Branch, Wolverine Falls stands as a notable natural landmark amidst the timber-rich terrain. Transportation in this era relies heavily on a grid of managed forest routes such as Forest Hwy 6930 and Forest Hwy 6950, alongside local tracks like Amber Lake Rd and Sleepy Hollow Rd. To the northeast, the quiet waters of Steusser Lake and the uniquely named Redlight Creek highlight the remote character of this Upper Peninsula interior.
