2017 Map of Ives Hill

About this map

Ives Lake and its surrounding peaks dominate this landscape in the northern reaches of the Huron Mountains. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations and complex water systems, including the River Styx and several cascading features such as Eighty Foot Falls, Hogback Falls, and Middle Falls. The map reveals a private or controlled access character through the presence of the Huron Mountain Club Rd, which winds past high points like Mt Ives and Ives Hill. To the north, the elevation drops toward the Lake Superior shoreline at Salmon Trout Bay, where the Salmon Trout River completes its descent through the Darby Bend. This area has long been a destination for specialized recreational camps and conservation, evidenced by the named ponds and lakes like Dutch Johns Pond and Conway Lake that fill the glacial depressions between the granite knobs.
