About this map

The Huron Mountains dominate this northern Michigan landscape, where the waters of Lake Superior meet the shore at Salmon Trout Bay. This remote section of the Upper Peninsula is defined by a series of significant inland water bodies, most notably Ives Lake and Conway Lake, which are connected by a network of drainage systems including Conway Creek and Fisher Cr. The terrain is remarkably varied, featuring named peaks such as Mummy Mtn, Mt Ives, and the central Ives Hill.

Watercourse dynamics are a central theme of the topography, with the Salmon Trout River and its branches carving through the land to create notable cascades like Eighty Foot Falls, Hogback Falls, and Upper Falls. Private access routes such as Huron Mountain Club Rd and Ives Lake Rd wind through the timbered hills, providing the primary infrastructure alongside traditional county routes like Co Rd 510 and Triple A Rd.
