About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this borderland survey, where the Michigan-Wisconsin state line cuts across a dense concentration of glacial lakes. Central to the area is Tenderfoot Lake, which is fed by Tenderfoot Creek and joined by Killarny Point. The map details a complex hydrological network including the Ontonagon River and the E Br Presque Isle River, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that define the Northwoods.

Southward, larger water bodies like Big Gibson Lake, High Lake, and Fishtrap Lake are interconnected by a web of local routes such as Black Forest Rd and Fishtrap Lake Rd. This era of the landscape is marked by a mix of established county roads like Co Rd B and more secluded forest tracks, reflecting the region's character as a destination for seasonal recreation and timber management. Smaller features like Frog Island and Little Gibson Lake provide specific points of reference for property research and local history.
