About this map

The Presque Isle Co Montmorency Co line bisects this northern Michigan landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and river systems dominates the terrain. The central portion of the map is defined by the Rainy River Flooding and the headwaters of the W Br Upper Rainy River, creating a saturated environment characterized by numerous small lakes and marshy basins. The southern section transitions into the drainage of the N Br Thunder Bay River, connecting larger bodies of water like Rush Lake and Grass Lake.

Logging and recreation roads, such as Healy Hardwood Rd and Tomahawk Rd, wind through the timbered sections between prominent water features like Upper Tomahawk Lake and Lower Tomahawk Lake. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely settled region primarily shaped by its hydrology, showing how the local road network—including names like Seitz Trl and Mertz Rd—adapts to the constraints of the surrounding wetlands and river forks.
