2023 Map of Gogebic

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the waters of the Presque Isle Wild and Scenic River and the Pelton River carve through a densely forested interior. The small settlement of Gogebic sits near the crossing of Old US Hwy 2 and Stage Coach Rd, marking a junction of historical travel routes. This survey highlights an intricate network of forest service trails, such as Nfst-7150 Trl and Nfst-7342 Trl, which provide access to a high density of named water bodies. From the large expanse of Pomeroy Lake to the secluded Saint Augustine Lake and Peter and Paul Lakes, the geography is defined by its post-glacial hydrology. The presence of numerous named drainages like Bluebill Creek and Slate River indicates a complex drainage system that supported the region's logging history and ongoing conservation efforts.
