2023 Map of Firesteel

About this map

Firesteel sits at the northern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where a dense network of forest roads and waterways defines the terrain. The Ottawa National Forest covers much of the southern portion, preserving the wilderness character of the Ontonagon County interior. Water dominates the drainage patterns here, with the Flintsteel River and its various tributaries, including Monehan Creek, Greentown Creek, and Cane Creek, carving through the timberland. The map reveals a specific rural infrastructure, where family and local history are reflected in thoroughfares such as Harmony Farms Rd, Kuala Rd, and Maunus Rd. Notable land use is hinted at by labels like French Shanty Rd and Rockland Rd, pointing to the region's logging and mining heritage. The presence of an Impassable Rd and various utility trails like Up12 Trl underscores the remote, working nature of this contemporary Michigan forest landscape.
