About this map

Porcupine Mountains terrain dominates this portion of the Ottawa National Forest, where the landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and protected wilderness. The high ground of Underwood Hill and Porcupine Peak overlooks a network of creeks and rivers, including the Little Carp River and the W Br Iron River. A notable feature for hikers and conservationists is the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the northern sections past Lily Pond and Greenstone Falls.

The presence of numerous seasonal and permanent water bodies, such as Beaver Lake and Clark Lake, illustrates the post-glacial hydrology of the Upper Peninsula. While the area is largely defined by its natural topography and lack of permanent settlements, the established routes of S Boundary Rd and Little Carp River Rd provide the primary human access points to this wooded interior near the Gogebic and Ontonagon county line.
