About this map

The Salmon Trout River and its numerous tributaries dominate this 2011 survey of the northern Huron Mountains near the shores of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by its significant vertical drops and water features, most notably the series of cascades including Eighty Foot Falls, Upper Falls, Hogback Falls, and Lower Falls. Along the coast, Gillet Landing sits on Salmon Trout Bay, marking one of the few points of access to the lake in this heavily forested terrain.

Evidence of the region's logging and recreational history is seen in the network of unpaved routes like Northwestern Rd and Ives Lake Rd. Named high points such as Mount Ives and the curiously titled Breakfast Roll rise above significant water bodies like Ives Lake and Conway Lake. Small settlements like Dodge City appear near the southwestern corner, while numerous ponds like Dutch Johns Pond and Florence Pond suggest the complex drainage patterns of the Upper Peninsula interior.
