About this map

The Tula settlement area in the western Upper Peninsula is defined by its position within the Ottawa National Forest, where the landscape is intricately carved by the Presque Isle River. This waterway is designated as the Presque Isle Wild and Scenic River, featuring notable natural landmarks like Minnewawa Falls and Nimikon Falls. The drainage network is dense, with numerous tributaries such as Tula Cr, Jackson Cr, and Kandler Cr feeding into the main river channel.

Industrial and recreational history is etched into the terrain through a network of forest roads and historic routes. The presence of Old M 28 and the Bessemer Snowmobile #8 (Snow) route indicates the evolution of transit from early highway corridors to modern seasonal recreation. High-relief features and naming conventions like Underwood Tower Rd suggest a history of forest management and fire observation in this heavily timbered region of Ontonagon and Gogebic counties.
