2017 Map of Mount Curwood

About this map

Mt Curwood dominates this high-elevation stretch of Baraga County, marking a significant topographical point in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Slate River, Ravine River, and the headwaters of the Peshekee River. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain primarily shaped by forestry and industrial transit, most notably indicated by the Huron Bay-Peshekee Grade, a historic transportation corridor that bisects the wilderness. Numerous small lakes are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the isolated High Life Lake and Jims Lake in the south to Camp Ten Lake near the Peshekee Grade Rd. The presence of Celotex Rd further underscores the region's connection to timber and land management industries that have long utilized these remote northern Michigan highlands.
