About this map

Fence River and the Mitchigan River converge in this remote timber and water region of the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by a dense network of forest roads and logging paths, including Camp Rd, Mead Logging Rd, and N Fence River Rd, which provide access to the area's numerous glacial lakes and riparian corridors. This 2011 survey reveals the interior wilderness of Iron County, where isolated settlements like Dishaws Camp stand as landmarks in the deep woods.

Water is the dominant feature of the terrain, with several distinct bodies such as Hickman Lake, Dishaw Lake, and the uniquely named Lake Thirty Two scattered throughout. The complex drainage system includes Smith Creek and Wilson Creek, which feed into the larger river branches. This area remains a focused environment of natural resource management, indicated by modern access routes like the New DNR Rd and proximity to Deerfoot Lodge Rd.
