About this map

Clarksburg and Greenwood anchor the northern corridor of this Marquette County landscape, where the Iron Ore Heritage Trail follows the path of former industrial rail lines. The northern section is dominated by the historic Clarksburg Cem and the small settlements of South Greenwood, reflecting a pattern of habitation closely tied to the region’s mining and timber legacy. To the south, the terrain becomes defined by complex water systems, notably the expansive Greenwood Reservoir and the Middle Branch Escanaba River which winds through the central and southern portions.

The presence of Black River Falls on the Black River highlights the natural drops in elevation that once powered local industry. A dense network of forest roads like Greenwood Mine Rd and Diorite Rd spiderwebs across the territory, connecting isolated water bodies such as Island Lake, Lake Unky, and Lake Lory. This 2017 survey captures a transitional landscape where recreational trails have replaced active iron ore transport, yet the original settlement names and remote cemeteries remain as markers of the area's development.
