About this map

Sunday Lake serves as the central focal point for this section of Gogebic County, with the city of Wakefield established along its southern and eastern shores. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Black River and the Black River, which flows past Neepikon Falls in the northwest. The settlement patterns reflect the region's industrial and recreational legacy, from the residential clusters at Ramsay and Verona to the Indianhead Mountain Ski Area.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate civic landmarks such as the Wakefield Post Office and Lakeside Cemetery, while the road network—including Old M 28 and the historic Old Us 2 near Wico and Plymouth—shows the evolution of Michigan's Upper Peninsula transit. Small waterways like McVichie Creek and Devils Creek cut through the surrounding timberlands, illustrating the varied geography that supports both local industry and tourism.
