2019 Map of Cup Lake

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this landscape in Gogebic County, where a dense network of forest service roads and natural waterways defines the geography. In the southern reaches, the Middle Branch Ontonagon River winds through the protected Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River corridor. The terrain is a complex hydrologic system, evidenced by the convergence of Wolfgang Creek, Sisson-Lilley Cr, and Tenmile Cr. Local infrastructure is represented by primitive routes like Camp 6 Rd and Trout Creek Rd, which provide access to the interior timberlands. This 2019 survey illustrates the managed wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, centering on the namesake Cup Lake and the various tributaries, such as Trout Brook and Snuffbox Cr, that feed the larger river systems.
