About this map

The Wisconsin-Michigan state line cuts a sharp diagonal through this northwoods landscape, dividing Gogebic County and Iron County. This lake-studded terrain is defined by complex water systems, where the Montreal River flows along the western boundary and the Black River and its South Fork drain toward the north. The area is heavily marked by industrial forest history, evidenced by the extensive network of transit routes like Mosinee Grade Rd and Underwood Grade Rd, which speak to the region's logging heritage.

Water bodies dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, ranging from the central Lake Evelyn to the secluded Barrel Spring Lake and Lake Dorothy. In the southeast, Long Lake features the distinctively named Horseshoe Island, while the northeastern corner is anchored by the large expanse of McDonald Lake. This 2018 survey provides a precise look at the modern forest road network, including remote routes such as Desperation Rd and Thunderhead Rd.
