About this map

Ontonagon sits at the northern edge of this Lake Superior watershed, serving as a focal point where the Ontonagon River meets the Great Lakes shore. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by the winding river valley as it carves through the transition from the town's residential grid to the heavily forested interior. Local history is anchored by the Ontonagon County Courthouse and a series of burial grounds including Riverside Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the Holy Family Catholic Cem.

South of the coastal settlement, the terrain shifts into the protected acreage of the Ottawa National Forest. The map traces a network of timber and forest service roads like Nfst-696 and Nfst-699, alongside established routes like Rockland Rd. In the southern reaches, the small settlement of Grand Rapids appears along the river's bend, while the western side is dominated by the Ontonagon County Airport - Schuster Field.
