2014 Map of Cup Lake

About this map

Ottawa National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape in Gogebic County, where a dense network of waterways defines the Upper Peninsula interior. The southern reach of the sheet is marked by the Cisco Branch Ontonagon River, while Cup Lake sits in the southwestern corner, surrounded by feeder streams like Trout Brook and Speckled Brook. The presence of Camp 6 Rd suggests a history of timber management and forest access within these protected lands. This 2014 survey documents the hydrographic patterns of the region, including the convergence of several named creeks such as Wanagan Cr, Sisson-Lilley Cr, and Bebeau Cr that drain the timbered uplands. The terrain is characterized by these intricate drainage systems, which have shaped the local geography and dictated the path of secondary forest roads through the township.
