About this map

Huron Mountains terrain dominates this 1980s landscape, characterized by the dramatic convergence of the West Branch Huron River and the East Branch Huron River. Much of the area is protected as part of the Copper Country State Forest, where the topography is defined by significant elevation changes and numerous cataracts, including Big Falls, Letharby Falls, and Lower Falls.

Settlement is sparse and centered around specialized outposts such as McComb Corner and several named camps, including Erickson Camp and Elmblad Camp. The presence of an Old RR Grade cutting through the forest suggests the region's historical reliance on timber extraction and wilderness transport. This mapping also captures the political intersection of Arvon, Michigamme, and L'Anse townships at the border of Baraga and Marquette Counties, reflecting the remote northern Michigan interior during the late twentieth century.
