2019 Map of Firesteel

About this map

The Flintsteel River winds through this heavily forested portion of Ontonagon County, where the small settlement of Firesteel serves as a northern landmark near the junction of Beck Rd and S Firesteel Rd. Much of the southern landscape is occupied by the Ottawa National Forest, a terrain defined by a dense network of creek drainages including McGuire Cr, Monehan Cr, and Greentown Cr. The map reveals a rural infrastructure of named access roads that hint at the region's agricultural and timber history, such as Harmony Farms Rd and the evocatively named French Shanty Rd. Modern thoroughfares like Ontonagon Greenland Rd and Rockland Rd cut diagonally across the survey sections, providing the primary corridors through this remote Upper Peninsula landscape of wetlands and northern hardwoods.
