2023 Map of Tula

About this map

Tula sits at the heart of this landscape, a remote settlement in Gogebic County positioned along a network of forest roads and trails that traverse the Ottawa National Forest. The topography is defined by the complex hydrology of the western Upper Peninsula, where the Presque Isle River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Presque Isle River, carve through the terrain. Notable elevation changes are marked by Nimikon Falls and Minnewawa Falls, illustrating the descent of these waters toward Lake Superior. The map reveals a land managed for both conservation and transit, with the Presque Isle Wild and Scenic River corridor protected alongside a grid of specialized routes such as Underwood Tower Rd and Wood Tower Rd. These roads and trails, including the Jack Spur Rd, suggest a history of timber management and forest access within the rugged interior of the Michigan wilderness.
