2019 Map of Gogebic

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and northern river systems. Near the northern boundary, the small settlement of Gogebic sits along the corridor of Old US Hwy 2, while the historic Stage Coach Rd traces a path through the timberlands to the east. The southern portion of the map is punctuated by larger water bodies like Pomeroy Lake and Tenderfoot Lake, which drain into the preserved corridor of the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River. This survey illustrates the modern management of these public lands, showing numerous forestry and access routes such as the Bluebell Creek Hunter trails. From the headwaters of the Pelton River to isolated basins like Saint Augustine Lake, the map provides a look at a region where recreation and natural resource preservation are the primary human imprints on the land.
