2017 Map of Rock River

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the shoreline is punctuated by Shelter Bay and the prominent Au Train Island. In the rugged interior of the Hiawatha National Forest, the Rock River and its tributaries carve through the terrain, creating notable landmarks like Rock River Falls and Silver Falls. The map reveals a land defined by water and heavy forest, with scattered inland bodies such as Deer Lake and Ginpole Lake sitting among the ridges of Hemlock Bluff. Human presence is marked primarily by recreational and service infrastructure, including segments of the N Country National Scenic Trail and local routes like Shore Dr and Co Hwy 466. A unique point of local history is preserved at Trudell's Graves, a small site located just south of the Lake Superior coast.
