About this map

Rockland and Victoria anchor this study of the Ontonagon River watershed in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Ottawa National Forest, which covers the majority of the area and is bisected by the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River. The settlement at Rockland preserves its heritage through sites such as the Old Indian Burial Grounds and Woodlawn Cem, while the industrial and natural history of the region is evident in the Victoria Reservoir and the naming of peaks like C Shaft Hill, hinting at the copper mining legacy of the range.

Water and wilderness paths dominate the terrain, including the North Country National Scenic Trl winding through the forest. Notable natural landmarks such as O Kun de Kun Falls and Irish Rapid Falls mark the varied topography. The map also detail numerous forest roads and trails, such as the Nfst-733-I Trl, illustrating the deep network of routes within the federal forest lands south of the main river branches.
