1982 Map of Rockland

About this map

Rockland serves as the primary settlement in this northern Michigan landscape, situated just north of the Ottawa National Forest boundary. The area's industrial legacy is evidenced by mining-related landmarks like C Shaft Hill and various gravel and sand pits, while the Escanaba and Lake Superior railroad line cuts through the northern terrain. The topography is defined by the winding Ontonagon River and its complex network of tributaries, including Sucker Creek, Rockland Creek, and the Baltimore River. To the west, the Victoria Reservoir and the settlement of Victoria illustrate the region's managed water resources. Notable natural features such as O Kun de Kun Falls and elevations like Military Hill and South Bluff highlight the varied relief of Ontonagon County. For genealogists, the Woodland Cem near Rockland provides a specific point of interest for local family history research.
