2011 Map of Mount Curwood

About this map

Mount Curwood rises as a prominent landmark in the north woods of Baraga County, marking the high ground between several major Upper Peninsula watersheds. In the early 21st century, this remote area remains defined by its network of rivers and seasonal encampments, including Elmblad Camp, Ruona Camp, and Sensenbrenner-Seldon Camp. The Slate River and East Branch Silver River drain the northern slopes, while the Peshekee River and its western branch dominate the southern half of the landscape. Significant portions of the southern terrain are preserved within Craig Lake State Park, which encompasses a chain of water bodies including Loon Lake, Jims Lake, and High Life Lake. The presence of established outposts like Snyder Camp and Camp 10 along Celotex Rd illustrates the area's continued use for timber management and outdoor recreation.
