About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline is defined by the North Country National Scenic Trail. The interior is a complex hydrological network characterized by the Blind Sucker Flooding and the meandering paths of the Dead Sucker River, Blind Sucker River, and Sucker River. This drainage system creates a mosaic of wetlands and small interior bodies of water like Randolph Lake and Props Lake. A network of forest roads and trails, including the Grand Marais Truck Trl and Blind Sucker Pathway Trl, provides access to these remote reaches of Luce County and Alger County. The topography illustrates the subtle elevations of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where narrow ridgelines like Pine Ridge Trl rise above the surrounding floodplains.
