2017 Map of Vermilac

About this map

The settlement of Vermilac serves as the central point in this Upper Peninsula landscape, where a intricate network of waterways defines the territory in Baraga County. The Vermilac River flows through the area, connecting several significant bodies of water including Worm Lake and Parent Lake. To the north, the terrain is marked by the dramatic descent of the Sturgeon River, which features Upper Falls, Lower Falls, and Canyon Falls in close proximity. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring wilderness character of the region, crisscrossed by the N Country Trail and historical transit corridors like Old US Hwy 41 and Old M-28. The distribution of wetlands and lakes, such as King Lake and Delene Lake, suggests a landscape primarily shaped by timber and water resources, with legacy road names like N Kantola Rd hinting at the area's local history.
