2023 Map of Sagola

About this map

The settlement of Sagola serves as the central hub for this portion of the Upper Peninsula, situated at the junction of key routes through the Dickinson and Iron County borderlands. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably the winding courses of the North Branch Sturgeon River and the West Branch Sturgeon River. In the northern reaches, the Ford River cuts across the terrain, while the central and southern sections are dotted with numerous named basins including Fox Lake, Bush Lake, and the geographically designated Section Nine Lake and Section Eleven Lake. Local names are preserved through primitive routes and landmarks such as Wells Grade Rd and Gestner Branch, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the timber and water systems that first drew inhabitants to this part of Michigan.
