About this map

The settlement of Sagola sits at the heart of this Dickinson County landscape, situated where local roads converge amidst a complex network of Upper Peninsula waterways. The drainage patterns here are defined by the Ford River in the northeast and the winding courses of the N Br Sturgeon River and W Br Sturgeon River, which carve through the terrain. The map reveals a high density of glacial lakes and ponds, many named for their public land survey locations, such as Section Nine Lake and Section Eleven Lake.

A network of numbered and named routes like Co Rd 2 and Wells Grade Rd provides access to more remote water bodies, including Tamarack Lake, Spirit Lake, and Holmes Lake near the western border with Iron County. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the area's timber-inflected road network and its hydrological features, from Robbins Pond to the secluded Tobey Lake, essential for understanding the recreational and industrial layout of this region in the 21st century.
