About this map

The Ontonagon River and its multiple branches define the rugged topography of this copper-country landscape, where the settlement of Rockland serves as a central hub. Just to the south, the Old Victoria Historic Townsite preserves a significant mining legacy near Victoria and the Victoria Reservoir. The map documents a cluster of cemeteries near Rockland, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Methodist Rose Cemetery, and Irish Hollow Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing early families of Ontonagon County.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the Baltimore River in the south to the notable O'Kun de Kun Falls and Irish Rapid Falls. The complex drainage system is illustrated by numerous named creeks like Plover Creek and Sandstone Creek, which carve through prominent elevations such as C Shaft Hill and South Bluff. Landmark crossings like the Military Bridge over the river branches highlight the established transit corridors of this northern Michigan region.
