2019 Map of Triangle Ranch

About this map

Triangle Ranch serves as the focal point for this section of Iron County, situated amidst a dense network of waterways and wetlands in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of significant regional rivers, including the East Branch Net River and the E Br Hemlock River. The presence of Triangle Spur and a long-distance trail labeled The Grade suggests the legacy of a rail-dependent logging economy that once dominated the Hematite Township area. Movement through this water-rich terrain is facilitated by localized routes such as Triangle Ranch Rd and Mihalisko Rd, which navigate around prominent water bodies like Poplar Ridge Lake and Twin Lakes. This 2019 survey documents a landscape that remains primarily defined by its hydrology and the sparse, purposeful infrastructure of the northern woods.
