2014 Map of Kenton

About this map

Kenton serves as the primary settlement in this section of the Ottawa National Forest, where the Upper Peninsula’s complex hydrology defines the landscape. The East Branch Ontonagon River and the Jumbo River carve through the terrain, the latter featuring multiple cascades including Jumbo Falls and Middle East Jumbo River Falls. This 2014 survey documents a region where three counties—Houghton, Ontonagon, and Iron—converge, marking a transitional space for land management and water drainage. Local family history is anchored at the Kenton Cem and Trout Creek Cem, while landmarks like The Bluff and Lake Twentyeight provide fixed points for navigation. The network of forest roads, including Golden Glow Rd W and Federal Forest 3630 Rd, illustrates the ongoing accessibility of this timber and recreation country.
