1999 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

The Middle Branch Ontonagon River dominates this landscape within the Ottawa National Forest, where hydropower and conservation converge. The expansive Bond Falls Flowage in the south provides a massive reservoir upstream from the notable Bond Falls. This area of Ontonagon County is defined by its water resources, with numerous named lakes like Mollie Lake and Johnson Lake dotting the forest floor. Small settlements including Agate, Trout Creek, and Calderwood are connected by a network of timber and access roads such as Calderwood Road. Genealogists and local historians will find the Agate Cem and the Gospel Mission Ch near Calderwood as essential landmarks of the community's social fabric. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Gaging Station reflects the region's managed natural resources and industrial infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
