2019 Map of Negaunee NW

About this map

The Yellow Dog River and its various tributaries define the hydrology of this Marquette County landscape. This 2019 survey captures a series of notable elevation drops, marked by Yellow Dog River Falls, Bushy Creek Falls, Big Pup Falls, and Big Garlic River Falls. The geography is shaped by the transition from the Yellow Dog watershed in the north to the Big Garlic River system in the south, separated by high ridges that contain several named basins, including Regan Lake and a chain of three Bass Lakes. Human footprints are mostly limited to primitive routes such as Gold Mine Rd, Suzuki Trl, and the N Country National Scenic Trail. This map offers a detailed view of the remote drainage patterns and backcountry trail networks as they existed in the late 2010s.
