About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of Ontonagon County, where the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River carves a path through the southern landscape. Small settlements like McKeever and Wainola stand as quiet nodes in a region defined by its hydrography, including the East Branch Ontonagon River and the Flintsteel River. The presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail indicates the modern importance of recreational infrastructure alongside traditional Forest Service routes like Forest Rd 866 and Forest Rd 859.

Tracing the northern reach reveals a complex drainage network where Adventure Cr, Deer Lick Cr, and Defoe Cr feed into larger systems. This 2019 survey documents the enduring character of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, from the residential pockets at Wasas to the remote waterway at Three Rapids. Local history is preserved in the naming of roads such as Riikonen Rd and Juno Rd, marking family and community footprints within the timberlands.
