About this map

The western shoreline of Lake Gogebic dominates this part of the Upper Peninsula, where the waters are punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Montgomery Point and the sharp peninsula of Alligator Point. The settlement of White City sits along the southern coast of Ice House Bay, serving as a focal point for the area's geography. To the west, the dense woodlands of the Ottawa National Forest are carved by a complex network of waterways, including the Pelton River and the Slate River.

Topographical interest is concentrated around several significant drops and ridges, notably Marshall Falls and the curiously named Alligator Eye peak. The road network reflects the region's history of movement, from the primary corridor of State Hwy 64 hugging the coast to the suggestive paths of Stage Coach Rd and Camp 6 Rd. Researchers can trace several small tributaries like White Horse Cr and Nelson Cr as they drain from the interior highlands toward the lake basin.
