About this map

McKeever serves as a primary reference point in this corner of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Ottawa National Forest. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways that once supported the region's logging and mining interests, including the East Branch Ontonagon River and the Middle Branch Ontonagon River. Smaller settlements like Wainola and Wasas are linked by a grid of rural routes such as Post Office Rd and Rousseau Rd, reflecting the scattered residential patterns of Rockland Township.

The topography is punctuated by Depot Ridge Rd in the north, while the southern reaches feature the Three Rapids along the river's course. Numerous tributaries such as Adventure Cr, Flintsteel River, and Porterfield Cr weave through the forest, detailing a drainage system that has shaped the local geography for generations. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural boundaries within the forest at the start of the 21st century.
