About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the Paint Wild and Scenic River and its many tributaries carve through the timberlands of Iron County. The hydrology of the region is central to its character, defined by the winding Net River and the turbulent waters of Hemlock Rapids and Lower Hemlock Rapids. Local roads like Little Finland Rd and Parks Farm Rd suggest the area's history of homesteading and agricultural attempts within the dense woods.

Water bodies including Sunset Lake, Lake Nine, and Lake Fifteen are clustered in the southern portion of the sheet, providing focal points for local geography. The presence of Sunset Shores Rd indicates modern residential development along these shorelines, contrasting with the more primitive tracks like Wards Trl found further into the forest. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns from Morrison Lake and Costigan Creek that feed the larger river systems.
