About this map

Sucker River and its various tributaries, including the W Br Sucker River and Blood Cr, define the northern drainage of this Upper Peninsula landscape. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of small water bodies such as Niemi Lake, Sullivan Lake, and the expansive Nawakwa Lake, suggesting a glaciated basin with significant wetland coverage. In the southern portion, the settlement at Lavender Corner marks a point of intersection along the boundary between Alger and Schoolcraft counties.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a network of historical tracks and county roads, including the Mccloud Grade and Harding Trl. The presence of the Grand Marais Airport in the northeast corner provides a modern navigational landmark amidst a largely undeveloped interior. This survey captures a moment of modern land management where isolated lakes like Sleeper Lake and Johns Lakes remain accessible primarily via these established trails and county routes.
