About this map

Ives Lake and the rugged interior of the Huron Mountains define this section of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The landscape is characterized by a complex drainage system where the Salmon Trout River and its various branches, including the East Branch Salmon Trout River, wind through steep terrain. Notable vertical drops like Eighty-Foot Falls, Upper Falls, and Lower Falls mark the river's descent toward Lake Superior at Salmon Trout Bay.

Access to this wilderness is maintained through a network of specialized routes such as Huron Mountain Club Rd, Ives Lake Rd, and Northwestern Rd. The presence of named peaks like Mummy Mountain, Mount Ives, and Bald Hill provides specific landmarks for understanding the area's high-relief topography. This modern survey maps the enduring isolation and intricate hydrology of a region dominated by private preserves and heavy timber, offering a detailed look at the drainage basins of Conway Creek and Snake Creek.
