2014 Map of Thomaston

About this map

Thomaston and the small settlements of Connorville and Planter anchor this 2014 survey of the western Upper Peninsula. Situated within the Ottawa National Forest, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward Lake Superior, including the Black River and numerous named tributaries like Montowibo Cr and Spikehorn Cr. A notable geographic detail is the presence of Root Beer Falls near the southern boundary, a site whose name reflects the unique tea-colored tannin-rich waters common to this region's wilderness. Transportation in this era is represented by the primary corridor of State Hwy 28 and a grid of forest routes such as Forest Rd 648 and Planter Rd, which provide access to the dense timberlands and remote water bodies like Copper Pond.
