2014 Map of Copper Peak

About this map

Copper Peak and Big Powderhorn Mtn dominate the topography of this portion of Ottawa National Forest, where the terrain of the Upper Peninsula is defined by steep ridges and the drainage of the Black River. This 2014 survey documents the area's transition from the residential and commercial centers of North Bessemer and Auvinen Corner in the south toward the expansive forest lands to the north. The map details a landscape shaped by both recreation and infrastructure, including the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Gogebic-Iron County Airport. Water remains a central feature, with numerous cascades such as Powder Horn Falls, Chippewa Falls, and Algonquin Falls along the river's course. Local family names and early 20th-century history are preserved through road labels like Hedberg Rd, Salmi Ln, and Heikkila Rd, reflecting the Finnish heritage of the Gogebic Range.
