2019 Map of Vermilac

About this map

The Vermilac settlement area in Baraga County is defined by its complex network of waterways and cascades. The northern reach of the map is dominated by the Sturgeon River, which descends through a series of notable elevation drops including Sturgeon Falls, Canyon Falls, and Upper Falls. These natural features are paralleled by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the township. The interior landscape is punctuated by numerous significant bodies of water, such as Parent Lake, King Lake, and Worm Lake, illustrating the post-glacial lake-and-marsh character of this part of Michigan. Transportation history is visible through several legacy routes, including Old M-28 and Old US Hwy 41, which reflect the evolution of road networks before modern highway realignments.
