About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the western Upper Peninsula, characterized by its complex network of waterways and high ground. The West Branch Ontonagon River and South Branch Ontonagon River converge near the eastern boundary, where the Victoria Reservoir serves as a major hydrological feature. The elevation rises toward the prominent ridge of Oak Bluff, overlooking a landscape carved by numerous smaller streams such as Whisky Hollow Cr and Woodpecker Cr.

Transit through this remote terrain is defined by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds past natural landmarks like Gleason Creek Falls and Sandstone Falls. Historical access is further indicated by Victoria Rd and Burma Rd, which cut through the dense forest blocks. This 2014 survey documents a region where the logging and copper-mining history of Ontonagon County has given way to managed forest and protected wilderness.
