About this map

Sunday Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, anchoring a corridor of historical settlements that grew alongside the mining and timber interests of the Upper Peninsula. The city of Wakefield is flanked by several distinct communities, including Verona, Ramsay, and Plymouth, each reflecting the region’s development during the early 21st century. The map reveals the deep influence of resource extraction through the naming of local infrastructure, such as Plymouth Mine Rd and N Chicago Mine Rd, while the Lakeside Cem near the lake's southern shore provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Waterways like the Little Black River and Jackson Cr wind through the terrain, much of which is managed as part of the Ottawa National Forest. Toward the northwest corner, the terrain drops at Neepikon Falls, marking a notable transition in the hydrological landscape. This area remains a crucial intersection of transit and natural preservation, with Us-2 and State Hwy 28 serving as the primary arteries through the timberlands.
