1985 Map of Vermilac

About this map

Sturgeon River flows across the northern reaches of this Baraga County landscape, characterized by the dense timberlands of the Baraga State Forest and Copper Country State Forest. The geography is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous isolated basins such as King Lake, Worm Lake, and Parent Lake. The small settlement of Vermilac is situated near the Vermilac River, reflecting the area's history as a remote interior location. A network of creeks, including Hickey Creek and Pelkie Creek, drain the high ground, while landmarks like Upper Falls on the Sturgeon River provide specific navigational points. Several gravel pits suggest localized resource extraction within the township of Covington, which encompasses much of the central and southern portions of the survey area.
