2023 Map of Ned Lake

About this map

Ned Lake sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, where the border between Baraga Co and Iron Co marks a transition between water-rich drainages. The area is defined by its extensive wetlands and creek systems, including the East Branch Net River and the West Branch Fence River. A network of logging-era transport routes like The Grade and The B Grade traverse the backcountry, indicating the region's historic and ongoing forestry activity. Numerous smaller water bodies, such as Shank Lake, Mogans Lake, and the expansive Flanigan Slough, are interconnected by winding streams like Ned Lake Creek and La Fournier Creek. This map captures a quintessential Upper Peninsula wilderness, providing a clear record of the access roads and natural waterways that have shaped local recreation and industry.
