About this map

The rugged shoreline of Lake Superior and its immediate interior define this 2011 survey of Ontonagon County. Along the coast, the prominent Tenmile Point separates the open lake from the waters of Tenmile Bay. The landscape is etched by a series of waterways moving toward the lake, including the Firesteel River, the winding Flintsteel River, and the West Sleeping River.

A network of numbered sites, such as Camp 3, Camp 5, and Camp 13, suggests a continuing history of timber or seasonal occupation in this northern Michigan wilderness. Inland transit is facilitated by local routes like Lakeshore Dr and Hungry Hollow Rd, leading toward small nodes like Four Corners. This map provides a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the Upper Peninsula, from the headwaters of Blackwood Creek to the smaller drainages of Bear Creek and Cane Creek.
