2014 Map of Tunis

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Net River system. The settlement of Tunis serves as a small waypoint along Tunis Rd, situated near the headwaters of the Perch River. This area is characterized by a high density of water features and wetlands, including Dead Slough and Net River Flooding, indicating a history of water management and forest drainage. Local transportation is facilitated by forestry routes such as Ford Rd and Cable Lake Rd, which connect remote hunting and fishing grounds like May Lake, Saine Lake, and Herbs Lake. The boundary between Baraga County and Iron County cuts horizontally across the southern half of the sheet, dividing a region primarily focused on timber and resource management, as evidenced by the Pit located in the northern reaches.
