About this map

Little Girls Point marks a prominent geological feature on the shoreline of Lake Superior, where the northern woods meet the lake. The topography is defined by the coastal bluffs and the rugged inland elevations of Bald Mtn and Point Mtn. This area serves as a significant jurisdictional boundary, where the Montreal River carves through the landscape to delineate the border between Gogebic County, Michigan, and Iron County, Wisconsin.

Large portions of the terrain are protected within the Ottawa National Forest, characterized by a dense network of drainage systems including Omans Cr, Collins Cr, and Ikwesens Cr. The map details a transition from the structured township grids and rural roads like County Highway 505 and Lake Head Road toward the wilder, forest-governed lands. This survey provides a modern view of the enduring wilderness and the vital watershed role played by the numerous creeks flowing toward the Great Lakes basin.
