About this map

Covington and the nearby village of Watton anchor this Baraga County survey, centered around the intersection of modern transit and historical settlement. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sturgeon River as it flows toward Tibbetts Falls and the vast Big Lake in the north. This 2011 map reflects a region of the Upper Peninsula where family legacy is deeply etched into the geography, evidenced by numerous roads and locations named for local residents like Nurmela, Kauranen, and Marttila Rd.

Hydrographic features like Worm Lake and the West Branch Net River drain the surrounding timberlands, while the Covington Post Office and Watton Post Office signify the continued importance of these small community centers. For those studying the heritage of the area, the Covington Cemetery provides a key genealogical link, situated amongst the grid of forest roads and county trails that connect these remote Michigan townships.
