About this map

Lake Superior defines the northern coastline of this Ontonagon County landscape, where the settlement of Green sits just inland from the shore. The community's cultural heritage is anchored by the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Cem, reflecting the Scandinavian immigrant history common to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A complex network of waterways, including the Cranberry River, Floodwood River, and Potato River, drains the interior woods toward the lake, carving through a region dominated by the Ottawa National Forest.

The terrain is marked by family-named roads such as Hokkanen Rd and Heikkila Rd, which provide access to the timberlands and rural homesteads. This map illustrates the transition from the lakefront to the dense forest south of Shady Lane Rd, where the township and range system organizes the rugged, creek-carved interior. From the mouth of Stony Cr in the west to the multiple branches of Duck Cr, the map records a landscape shaped by water and forestry.
