2017 Map of Oak Bluff

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of Ontonagon County, where the topography is defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into the Victoria Reservoir. The West Branch Ontonagon River and South Branch Ontonagon River converge here, creating a landscape punctuated by landmarks like Sandstone Falls and Gleason Creek Falls. Rising above the surrounding timberland, Oak Bluff serves as a prominent geographic anchor. Modern recreational infrastructure is visible through the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses the forest alongside numerous US Forest Service roads. Local naming conventions are preserved in features such as Whisky Hollow Cr and Cushman Cr, reflecting the region's long history of logging and resource management in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
