About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the border of Gogebic and Ontonagon counties meets. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, most notably the confluence of the South Branch Ontonagon River and the Cisco Branch Ontonagon River. Smaller tributaries like Caddis Creek and Snuffbox Creek feed into these major waterways. Significant landmarks include Wolverine Falls and the Eighteen Mile Rapids, which highlight the river's dynamic character through this forested region.

Industrial and recreational access is represented by a network of forest roads, including Forest Highway 6930 and Choate Road. In the eastern portion of the map, Steusser Lake provides a still-water contrast to the surrounding creeks. This map captures the area in the early 21st century, showing the remote character of the Western Upper Peninsula where logging roads and natural waterways remain the primary features of the terrain.
