2017 Map of Cup Lake

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this landscape in Gogebic County, where a complex network of waterways defines the remote geography of Marenisco Township. The hydrological profile is particularly dense, centered on the Cisco Branch Ontonagon River in the southeast and the eponymous Cup Lake in the southwest. Numerous streams, including Wanagun Cr, Sisson-Lilley Cr, and Bebeau Cr, drain the varied elevations of the Michigan interior. Access to this wooded region is provided by a system of Forest Service roads and local routes like Trout Creek Rd and Camp 6 RD. The mapping reflects a modern era of forest management and conservation, where the land is largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and the administrative boundaries of Township 46 and 47 North.
