About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the rugged drainages of the Little Presque Isle River and the Presque Isle River carve through the timberland. Small settlements like Hartley and Dunham are situated along the southern edge of the map, connected by the local corridor of Dunham Rd. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Wolf Mtn, which serves as a prominent landmark overlooking several smaller tributaries including Wolf Mountain Cr and Monarch Cr.

Transportation throughout this remote area is heavily geared toward seasonal recreation and forest management. A network of specialized routes, including the Bessemer Snowmobile #2 and Bessemer Snowmobile #11 S, crisscrosses the township, alongside forest access roads like Great Lakes Rd and Morgan Mine Rd. This landscape reflects a contemporary reliance on the forest for both industry and public recreation, maintaining the isolated character of Gogebic County.
