2019 Map of Rockland

About this map

Rockland and Victoria anchor this landscape within the Ottawa National Forest, where the copper mining heritage of the Upper Peninsula is written into the terrain. Distinctive features like C Shaft Hill and the bluffs near the Ontonagon River point to the area's industrial past, while the Victoria Reservoir and the Military Bridge highlight historical infrastructure. Genealogists can find several burial grounds, including Methodist Rose Cem, Irish Hollow Cem, and Woodlawn Cem, clustered near the northern settlements. The hydrography is dominated by the complex branches of the Ontonagon, including the Ontonagon-Wild and Scenic River corridor. Natural landmarks such as Kun de Kun Falls and Irish Rapid Falls mark the rugged descent of the local watershed through the forest, intersected by the N Country National Scenic Trail.
