About this map

The unincorporated community of Kenton is situated within the expansive Ottawa National Forest, serving as a focal point where Houghton, Ontonagon, and Iron counties converge. This interior region of the Upper Peninsula is defined by a dense network of waterways and falls, including Jumbo Falls, Upper Falls, and East Falls along the Jumbo River. The landscape is heavily forested, featuring prominent terrain like The Bluff and numerous glacial lakes such as Lake Twentyeight and Maggie Lake.

Transportation through this wooded terrain relies on routes like Old Hwy M-28 and specialized paths such as the Bessemer Snowmobile #8 (Snow). For genealogists, the map identifies local burial grounds including Kenton Cem and Trout Creek Cem. The designation of the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River in the northern portion of the quadrangle highlights the preserved nature of the river system during this contemporary era.
