About this map

The Cisco Branch Ontonagon River meanders across this northern landscape, defining the character of a region heavily marked by glacial lakes and wetlands. The small settlements of Thayer and Stickley represent the primary points of human habitation, connected by a network of rural routes including Cty Rd 527 and Miller Rd. In the northern section, the water drops at Kakabika Falls, while the southern reaches are dominated by a cluster of named water bodies.

Local recreation is concentrated around the Langford Lake Campground and Picnic Area, situated on the shores of Langford Lake. These waters, including Beatons Lake and Clearwater Lake, suggest a seasonal and outdoor-oriented economy. The dense arrangement of forest roads and small lakes like Spider Lake and Misty Lake illustrates the isolation and specialized land use of the Gogebic County wilderness during the early twenty-first century.
