2019 Map of Choate

About this map

The Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River and its numerous tributaries dominate this reach of the Ottawa National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the South Branch Ontonagon River and the Cisco Branch Ontonagon River, which draw from the surrounding wetlands and creeks like Tenmile Creek and Sucker Creek. The settlement of Choate appears as a focal point for the forest service road system, which includes named routes such as Choate Rd and Belisle Rd. Navigation through this timbered region is marked by natural features such as the Eighteen Mile Rapids, while the boundary between Gogebic and Ontonagon counties bisects the western portion of the map. The intricate system of Forest Service trails, such as Nfst-6987, indicates the managed nature of this wilderness at the time of this 2019 survey.
