About this map

The Ottawa National Forest in Gogebic County defines this landscape, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways in the western Upper Peninsula. The Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River meanders through the northeast, while the central terrain is marked by the small settlements of Thayer and Stickley. The presence of numerous Forest Service roads, such as Nfst-7020, indicates the area's ongoing management for timber and recreation within the national forest system.

Water is the dominant geographic feature, with Langford Lake and Little Langford Lake serving as significant anchors in the southwest. A chain of smaller bodies including Deer-yard Lake, Clearwater Lake, and Big African Lake dot the southern reaches. Historical transportation is evidenced by Old US Hwy 2, which runs through the northern sections alongside newer routes like Beatons Lake Rd, providing access to remote landmarks like Kakabika Falls on the Tenderfoot Cr.
