About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the western Upper Peninsula, where the high ridges of the Porcupine Mountains meet the dense timberlands of Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including the headwaters of the Little Carp River and the W Br Iron River. A segment of the N Country National Scenic Trail winds across the northern half of the map, passing through the high ground of Porcupine Peak and near the quiet waters of Lily Pond.

Deep in the backcountry, Greenstone Falls stands as a notable landmark on the river system, while Underwood Hill rises in the southern interior. The map documents a primitive transportation network consisting primarily of S Boundary Rd and isolated forest tracks. This 2014 survey records a wilderness largely devoid of permanent settlement, where naming conventions like Sugar Camp Cr and Salt Pork Cr hint at the area's legacy of seasonal logging and trapping camps.
