2017 Map of Wakefield

About this map

Wakefield serves as the focal point of this Gogebic County survey, positioned at the southern edge of Sunday Lake. The landscape reflects a legacy of iron mining and timber, with residential streets giving way to historical industrial corridors like Plymouth Mine Rd and N Chicago Mine Rd. Beyond the town center, the small settlements of Plymouth, Wico, and Verona indicate the clustered nature of regional development during the heyday of the Gogebic Range. To the north, Neepikon Falls marks the course of the Little Black River as it traverses the wooded terrain. A significant portion of the southeastern quadrangle is occupied by the Ottawa National Forest, where smaller waterways like Cim Creek and Sunset Cr thread through the protected acreage, illustrating the balance between Michigan's industrial history and its conserved wilderness.
