About this map

The Sturgeon River and its complex network of tributaries, including the E Br Sturgeon River and W Br Sturgeon River, define the hydrology of this Dickinson County landscape. The 2017 survey shows a region deeply connected to its natural resources and industrial heritage, evidenced by roads like Groveland Mine Rd. This terrain is characterized by numerous small water bodies and drainage basins, with Solberg Lake and Sixmile Lake serving as prominent landmarks in the southern sections.

Logging and utility access are reflected in the dense grid of secondary paths such as Wells Grade Rd and Pipe Line Rd. The upper reaches of the map are crossed by the Ford River, while the center is dotted with seasonal routes and ponds like Gene Pond. This map captures a Northwoods environment where historical mining interests and modern conservation efforts converge along the winding banks of the N Br Sturgeon River and its adjacent creeks.
