About this map

Paulding serves as the primary settlement on this 1980s-era topographic survey of Ontonagon County, where the thick woods of the Ottawa National Forest meet a complex network of waterways. The landscape is defined by the Baltimore River and the Middle Branch Ontonagon River, which feeds into the Bond Falls Flowage in the southeastern corner. Small pockets of human activity are scattered throughout the timberland, including the Maple Grove Cem and small settlements like Craigsmere and Sleepy Hollow.

Local industry is represented by several resource extraction sites such as a Gravel Pit and Sand Pit. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations near Robbins or along Paulding Creek. The presence of numerous named bodies of water, from Tanlund Lake to Kennedy Lake, highlights the area's geography before significant modern development, preserved here in this provisional study produced by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the USGS.
