About this map

Whitefish Bay and Tahquamenon Bay define the northern shoreline of this section of the Hiawatha National Forest in the Upper Peninsula. The coastal landscape is marked by prominent geographic features like Menekaunee Point and Naomikong Point, the latter being the site of the Naomikong Point Cem. This proximity of a burial ground to the Lake Superior shore suggests the area's long-standing significance for local inhabitants and travelers along the water.

Further inland, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and trails. Significant interior features include McNearney Lake, Peck and Rye Lake, and Proctor Lake. These are connected by forest routes such as the North Country National Scenic Trl and the Raco - Paradise Snowmo Trl, which follow the drainage patterns of Naomikong Creek and the West Branch Halfaday Creek toward the bay.
