2019 Map of McNearney Lake

About this map

Whitefish Bay and Tahquamenon Bay define this northern coastline within the Hiawatha National Forest. This section of the Upper Peninsula is characterized by complex hydrology and specialized recreational routes. Along the Lake Superior shoreline, features like Menekaunee Point and Naomikong Island offer historical landmarks for navigation and local heritage. Inland, the landscape is woven with water bodies including McNearney Lake, Naomikong Pond, and Peck and Rye Lake. The presence of the Naomikong Point Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists studying early coastal activity. A modern network of trails, such as the N Country National Scenic Trail and various snow-based routes like McNearney Ski-C (Snow), illustrates how the forest is currently utilized for winter sports and long-distance hiking.
