About this map

Black River dominates this northern Michigan landscape, winding northward through the Ottawa National Forest toward Lake Superior. The terrain is defined by significant elevations and water features, including the prominent Copper Peak and Big Powderhorn Mtn, which signal the region's importance for winter recreation and topography. Along the river’s course, numerous cascades such as Chippewa Falls, Algonquin Falls, and Powder Horn Falls are documented, illustrating the sharp descent of the watershed.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in the southern portion of the map at North Bessemer and the intersection of Auvinen Corner. Transportation infrastructure is visible through the Gogebic-Iron County Airport and an extensive network of Forest Service roads, including Nfst-120 and Nfst-128. For hikers, the N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the northern ridges, providing a managed corridor through the timberlands and across small tributaries like Sand Island Cr and Maple Cr.
