2014 Map of Vermilac

About this map

The settlement of Vermilac serves as a quiet focal point in this 2014 survey of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, situated near the confluence of local water systems and the rural road network. The landscape is defined by an intricate hydrology of glacial lakes and river systems, including the expansive Worm Lake, Parent Lake, and the smaller Beaver Lake and Delene Lake. The Sturgeon River and Vermilac River provide the primary drainage for the area, while the northern section of the map highlights a series of natural cascades, specifically Canyon Falls, Lower Canyon Falls, and Upper Falls. For those tracking regional transit and outdoor recreation, the North Country National Scenic Trail winds through the northwestern corner, running parallel to the corridor of Us-41. The map also preserves the alignments of older routes like Old Us-41, Old M-28, and Old M-28 N, reflecting the evolution of travel through this forested terrain.
