About this map

Lake Gogebic dominates this landscape within the Ottawa National Forest, where the shoreline is defined by a series of distinct inlets including Bingham Bay, Little Bear Bay, and Ice House Bay. The western shore is preserved as Lake Gogebic State Park, featuring a boat ramp and recreational infrastructure. Away from the water, the terrain rises into the highlands of Marenisco, where rugged features like Alligator Eye and the cascading waters of Nelson Canyon Falls and Judson Falls provide a detailed look at the local topography.

Transportation and historical routes are marked by Stagecoach Road and East Shore Road, which skirt the edges of the lake. Local landmarks such as the St Thomas Church Camp and various Gravel Pits reflect the mixed use of the land, ranging from seasonal recreation to local extraction. The presence of a Communication Tower and several sewage lagoons near the shore indicates the development necessary to support the park and surrounding forest lands at the end of the twentieth century.
