2014 Map of Matchwood NW

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of Michigan's western Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Trap Hills and a complex network of waterways. In the southeastern corner, the Norwich Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research in a region once tied to early copper mining interests. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the West Branch Ontonagon River and the scenic Cascade Falls. For hikers and recreational historians, the N Country National Scenic Trail winds across the central portion of the map, following the contours of the land between the Cranberry River and the Floodwood River. The map details numerous Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rd 630, which provide access to the remote drainage basins of Tolfrey Cr and Little Cranberry River.
