About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this northern landscape, spanning the border where Gogebic County, Michigan, meets Vilas County, Wisconsin. This 2017 survey details a dense network of glacial water bodies and drainage systems, notably the Presque Isle River Flooding and the winding course of Meander Creek. The small settlement of Wellington sits surrounded by deep woods, connected to the wider region by Forest Service roads and the Bessemer Snowmobile #1-S trail.

Water-rich terrain is the defining characteristic of the area, featuring named basins like Sun Dance Lake, Bobcat Lake, and the trans-border Stateline Lake. Local infrastructure is sparse but well-defined, showing the importance of recreational and resource-management access through routes like Job Corps Road and Gaylord Lake Road. Geologists and local historians can trace the hydrological patterns between Little Oxbow Lake and the larger Presque Isle River system during this modern era of forest conservation.
