About this map

Ottawa National Forest blankets this borderland landscape between Gogebic County, Michigan, and Vilas County, Wisconsin. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small creeks, where many water bodies bear floral or faunal names like Bluebell Lake, Honeysuckle Lake, and Bobcat Lake. The Chicago and North Western corridor cuts through the northern sections, passing near the settlement of Wellington and several gravel pits, indicating the region's reliance on both timber and rail transport.

Institutional presence in this forested expanse is marked by Camp Ojibway, located south of Arnested Lake. The survey also documents the township boundaries of Marenisco and Bessemer, alongside various public access points and picnic areas. This 1980s data provides a clear record of the area's transition between the Michigan and Wisconsin borderlands, showing the drainage patterns of Meander Creek and the West Branch Blueberry Creek before they exit the forest limits.
