2019 Map of Oak Bluff

About this map

The Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River carves through this northern Michigan landscape, where the W Branch Ontonagon River and the South Branch converge near the Victoria Reservoir. This 2019 survey documents a wilderness character defined by the Ottawa National Forest, with significant water features like Sandstone Falls and Gleason Creek Falls punctuating the drainage network. High points like Oak Bluff overlook a series of creeks, including Deer Cr and Mill Cr, which flow toward the central river valley. The map illustrates a balance between modern recreational access, such as the N Country National Scenic Trail, and historic logging or utility corridors like Victoria Rd. The dense network of National Forest System roads, such as Nfst-687, indicates the managed nature of this timber and water resource area.
