About this map

Thomaston and Connorville serve as central nodes in this Western Upper Peninsula landscape, situated within the expansive Ottawa National Forest. The region's industrial and natural heritage is defined by the Presque Isle River, which winds through the terrain past landmarks like Minnewawa Falls and Ninnikon Falls. The Soo Line railroad bisects the southern portion of the area, providing a transit corridor alongside older infrastructure like the Old RR Grade and the Jack Spur.

Resource extraction and recreation are visible throughout, with numerous Gravel Pits dotting the map near the railroad and the prominent elevations of Indianhead Mtn and Black Mtn to the southwest. The presence of Sewage Disposal Ponds near the main settlements and a network of named waterways including Copper Creek and Jackson Creek reflect a developed rural economy and the complex drainage of the Gogebic Range.
