The settlement of London serves as a central point in this Lake County interior, where the North Woods landscape is defined by its drainages and early transport routes. The upper reaches of the Gooseberry River and the Encampment River wind through the terrain, fed by numerous smaller waterways like Skunk Cr, Stony Cr, and Dago Cr. Historical logging and transit patterns are visible through the presence of old grades and rural thoroughfares, including the N Alger Grade, E Alger Grade, and London Crossing Rd. High ground at Gustafson Hill and the Nester Bluffs provides relief against the lower-lying Murphy Swamp. This area represents the transitional upland geography above the Lake Superior shoreline, focused on the forest and river systems that supported early regional industry.
