About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this landscape in Iron County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and glacial wetlands. The expansive Perch Lake sits at the northern edge, serving as a primary hydrologic feature alongside the Paint River and the Iron River. This 1999 revision reveals a territory dedicated to conservation and public timber management, managed by the Kenton Ranger District and the Iron River Ranger District.

Surface water is the primary characteristic of the area, with numerous named bodies such as Hannah Webb Lake, Petrow Lake, and Ponozzo Lake dotting the terrain. Human presence is light and largely recreational, indicated by a Boat Ramp on the northern shore and isolated features like a Gravel Pit. The map traces the winding course of the North Branch Paint River, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Upper Peninsula.
