About this map

Ottawa National Forest blankets the northern portion of this terrain as it approaches the rocky shoreline of Lake Superior. The landscape is a network of drainage systems, including Ironwood Creek, Mud Creek, and Spring Creek, which wind through the forested sections and small clearings of the Upper Peninsula. Along the southern border, the Montreal River defines the state line between Michigan and Wisconsin, separating Gogebic and Iron Counties.

Small agricultural and residential clusters like North Ironwood, Hautala Corner, and Junet are connected by a grid of rural roads such as Vanderhagen Road and Maki Road. The presence of the Gogebic County Airport and several Gravel Pits indicates the region's mid-century infrastructure and industrial needs. Genealogists may find interest in the Sunset Acres Cem and named local landmarks like Big Springs, which reflect the localized settlement patterns of this borderland area.
