2017 Map of Vega

About this map

The small settlement of Vega serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey of the Upper Peninsula's interior timberlands. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of Spalding Township, where the Cedar River and the W Br Cedar River converge. This network of waterways, including Tenmile Cr and Nacomis Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns essential to the local ecosystem and historical logging interests. Moving through the low-lying terrain, a few established corridors like Old Cc Rd and Number 44 Rd provide access to the dense woodland. The presence of Lake Number Eighteen in the southwest quadrant highlights the numerous small basins that dot this glacial topography, offering a clear view of the area's natural state in the early 21st century.
