About this map

The settlement of Tunis serves as a small point of orientation in this landscape of northern Michigan, located within the expansive boundaries of the Ottawa National Forest. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the southward course of the West Branch Net River and the Perch River. Significant wetlands and controlled water features characterize the area, most notably the Net River Flooding and several named bodies such as May Lake, Saine Lake, and Spring Lake.

Remote roads like Ford Rd and Cable Lake Rd cut through the forest, marking the transition between Baraga and Iron counties. The presence of features like Dead Slough and Dead Stream alongside the Net River Dam Rd indicates a geography shaped by forest management and the hydraulic control of the Net River watershed. This survey captures the region's character as a timber and water management zone where industrial access roads intersect with protected natural areas.
