About this map

Merriweather sits at the northern tip of Lake Gogebic in Ontonagon County, serving as a gateway to the dense timberlands of the Ottawa National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by its waterways, where the Big Iron River and Rapid River drain the northern interior toward Lake Superior. The intersection of State Hwy 28 and State Hwy 64 marks the primary transportation corridor for this Upper Peninsula community.

Industrial and recreational history is etched into the terrain through features like the Ethelwood Grade and the Pony Trail, which snake through the forest south of the main settlement. Small water bodies like Bendock Pond and numerous creeks, including Warbler Cr and Wapato Cr, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the region's low-lying areas. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary where the landscape transitions into Gogebic County to the west and south.
