About this map

Merriweather and the surrounding wilderness of the Ottawa National Forest define this landscape in the early 1980s. The settlement sits along the northern shores of Lake Gogebic, where the Ontonagon County Park and a local Trailer Park serve as focal points for recreation and lakeside living. The area is heavily marked by its water systems, including the Big Iron River and the distinctive Haskin Rapid to the north.

Industrial and transit footprints are evident through the prominent Pipeline corridor cutting across the forest and a Gravel Pit near Carp Lake. Small tributaries like Warbler Creek and Wapato Creek drain the wooded interior, while the Pony Trail suggests a more traditional mode of traversing the Upper Peninsula's dense timberlands. The map clearly delineates the shifting borders between Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties.
