About this map

The Dead River Storage Basin and Deer Lake dominate this northern Michigan landscape, where the iron mining legacy of the Upper Peninsula is written into the local geography. Significant water bodies like Teal Lake and the Silver Mine Lakes reflect the industrial and natural history of the region. On the southern edge of the map, the northern limits of Ishpeming are marked by the Ishpeming Cemetery and Country Village RV Park, bordering the wetland environments of Lake Bacon and Little Lake. The area's hydrology is complex, featuring a network of tributaries including Gold Mine Creek, Zhulkie Creek, and the Little Dead River. This 2011 survey documents a mix of rural development along Deer Lake Rd and County Hwy GGL, providing a contemporary record of land use in Marquette County.
