About this map

Nestoria and Tioga anchor this northern Michigan landscape where the Upper Peninsula’s water systems dominate the geography. The confluence of the Sturgeon River and the Tioga River creates a network of drainages punctuated by Upper Sturgeon Falls and Tioga Falls. The terrain is defined by its numerous small basins and glacial lakes, including Little Spruce Lake, Dommer Lake, and Norr Lake.

Transport through these wetlands is facilitated by a few key corridors such as Old US-41 and the Herman-Nestoria Rd. Away from these routes, the map reveals a remote hydrology where named tributaries like Pelkie Creek and Lateral Cr feed the larger rivers. Local landmarks like Little King Lake and LeMays Lake provide specific points of reference for those researching the Baraga County backcountry or the historic routes connecting these small settlements.
