About this map

The Upper Peninsula’s Iron County wilderness is defined here by a dense network of tributaries and glacial lakes, situated within the boundaries of T45N and T46N. The Deer River and the W Branch Fence River move through a landscape characterized by extensive wetlands and isolated water bodies like Bone Lake and Sullivan Lake. This area reflects the region's history of logging and natural resource management, evidenced by routes such as The Grade, which suggests the path of former narrow-gauge rail lines used to haul timber through the backcountry. Small, unnamed ponds and seasonal drainages like Fribley Cr and Camp Cr connect to larger basins including Square Lake and Otter Lake. The map reveals a sparsely populated terrain where access is limited to a few secondary thoroughfares like N Fence River Rd and Bone Lake Rd, preserving the quiet character of this northern woodland.
