About this map

Sidnaw anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated at the boundary of Houghton Co and Baraga Co. This area is defined by the extensive woodlands of the Ottawa National Forest, where a network of forest roads and trails, including the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Bessemer Snowmobile #8, crisscross the terrain. The presence of Sidnaw Cem and Prickett Grooms Field provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Water systems dominate the geography, from the meandering Sturgeon River and Perch River to numerous interior basins like Saint George Lake, Pequet Lake, and Elginor Lake. The drainage pattern is complex, with named features such as Sidnaw Creek and Dry Wash Cr carving through the forest toward the heights of Pine Bluff and Mt Kallio. This 2017 survey reflects a modern era of recreational land use and natural resource management within the state's vast northern timberlands.
