About this map

Little Presque Isle River and its numerous tributaries, including Brotherton Creek and Veron Creek, dominate this portion of the Upper Peninsula's forested interior. The landscape is defined by the prominent height of Wolf Mountain, which stands as a significant landmark in the eastern section of the quadrangle. The settlement pattern is sparse, centered on the small locales of Hartley and Dunham, the latter of which is accessed via Dunham Rd near the southern boundary.

Transportation through this timbered region relies on a network of named forest routes like Great Lakes Rd and Great Lake Station Rd, alongside older paths such as Korpela. The mapping of small drainages like Emperor Creek and Wolf Mountain Creek illustrates a complex watershed that eventually feeds the main Presque Isle River in the north, showing the area's natural drainage before these waters reach Lake Superior.
