About this map

Tenmile Point and the adjacent Tenmile Bay define this stretch of the Lake Superior shoreline in Ontonagon County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses moving toward the Great Lake, most notably the meandering paths of the Firesteel River and the Flintsteel River. These river systems, along with tributaries like Blackwood Creek and Tenmile Creek, create a complex drainage pattern across the township sections.

Remote coastal access is maintained via a sparse grid of local roads, including Lakeshore Dr and Hungry Hollow Rd, which navigate the terrain between the bluffs and the water. The map preserves local nomenclature through family-named routes such as Beck Rd and Aho Rd, reflecting the settlement history of this Upper Peninsula region. The survey also captures the precise meeting of the lake with smaller seasonal flows like Bear Creek and Cane Creek.
