2019 Map of Sparrow Rapids

About this map

The West Branch Ontonagon River carves through the heart of this landscape, designated here as the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River. Located within the Ottawa National Forest along the border of Houghton and Ontonagon counties, the area is defined by its complex network of waterways and forest service trails. The southern portion of the quadrangle is punctuated by the Davidson Lakes and the winding course of Beaver Cr, while the northern terrain is fed by numerous tributaries including Skoglund Cr and Kits Cr. A notable landmark for those tracing local geography is Onion Falls, situated where Onion Cr moves through the timberland. This 2019 survey documents a preserved wilderness corridor, showing the extensive system of National Forest System Trails like Nfst-1439 and Nfst-1130 that provide access to remote water bodies like Duck Lake and York Lake.
