2019 Map of Sidnaw

About this map

The unincorporated community of Sidnaw anchors this portion of the Ottawa National Forest, where the border between Houghton and Baraga counties meets. This remote Upper Peninsula landscape is defined by the protected waters of the Sturgeon Wild and Scenic River, which winds through a dense network of tributaries including Sidnaw Creek and the Perch River. Local history is centered around the Sidnaw Cem and Prickett-Grooms Field, indicating small-scale settlement amid a vast wilderness dominated by timber and recreation. High ground is marked by Pine Bluff and Mt Kallio, while the lower elevations are pocketed with glacial features like Saint George Lake and Pequet Lake. A modern network of forest roads and trails, including the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Bessemer Snowmobile #8, crisscrosses the terrain, following the paths of older resource-extraction routes.
