About this map

Wakefield sits at the center of this Gogebic County landscape, where the waters of Sunday Lake meet the Little Black River. The area's industrial legacy is etched into the road network, with names like Chicago Mine Rd and Plymouth Mine Rd tracing the paths of former iron operations. Small residential clusters like Verona, Ramsay, and Wico surround the main settlement, reflecting the distributed nature of early mining-era communities.

South of the developed corridors, the vast timberlands of the Ottawa National Forest dominate the terrain, dissected by numerous waterways including Cim Creek and Jackson Cr. Local history is anchored at Lakeside Cem near the lake's edge, while the northern reaches feature the remote Neepikon Falls. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from these established town sites into the surrounding wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
