About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this section of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the Au Train River and Sturgeon River carve through a landscape of dense timber and glacial basins. The settlement of Forest Lake serves as a central point along State Hwy 94, flanked by smaller locales such as Dixon to the west and Vail to the east. The geography is defined by a high density of interior water bodies, from the sprawling Cleveland Cliffs Basin to the smaller Addis Lakes and Lake Seventeen.

Long-distance recreation and resource management intersect here, evidenced by the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail crossing northern sections. The map also records the location of Au Train Falls, a notable topographic feature along the river's descent. For those studying the 21st-century conservation landscape, the sheet provides exact placements for forest boundaries and scattered settlements like Stillman at the edge of the woodland.
