2019 Map of Tunis

About this map

Tunis marks a small point of settlement within the expansive timberlands and wetlands at the border of Baraga and Iron counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Net River and its various tributaries, including Barley Cr and Reservoir Cr. This area, situated within the Ottawa National Forest, features a distinct hydrological pattern of sloughs and lakes, such as Dead Slough and May Lake. The road network, comprising routes like Ford Rd and Net River Dam Rd, reveals the infrastructure necessary for managing this forest environment. These forest service tracks and local roads provide access to remote water bodies like Saine Lake and Herbs Lake, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use of the Upper Peninsula interior during the early 21st century.
