2019 Map of Underwood Hill

About this map

The Porcupine Mountains dominate this landscape within the Ottawa National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply toward Porcupine Peak and Underwood Hill. This 2019 survey documents a wilderness primarily defined by its complex drainage network and recreation infrastructure. The N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, crossing numerous waterways such as the Little Carp River and passing landmarks like Greenstone Falls. The southern reaches are characterized by a transition to lower, marshy ground surrounding Bass Lake and the W Br Iron River. For the local historian or outdoorsman, the map detail captures the remote character of Ontonagon County, from the isolated Lily Pond to the secondary forest roads like S Boundary Rd that provide the only vehicle access into this dense timberland.
