About this map

The high ridges of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park dominate the northern terrain of this Upper Peninsula survey, where Summit Peak and Porcupine Peak overlook a dense network of watercourses. The landscape transitions south into the Ottawa National Forest, marked by the small settlement of Underwood and the prominent Underwood Hill. This area serves as a significant hydrological divide, where the Little Carp River and its tributaries, including Memengwa Creek and Toledo Creek, flow toward Lake Superior.

Transportation through this wilderness is defined by a mix of footpaths and logging-era relics, including the North Country National Scenic Trail and Little Carp River National Scenic Trail. Evidence of local industry is visible through several Gravel Pits located near the Gogebic and Ontonagon county line. Landmarks like Greenstone Falls and Lily Pond highlight the preserved natural character of the Bergland Ranger District during the turn of the 21st century.
