2011 Map of Watersmeet

About this map

The Middle Branch Ontonagon River and its numerous tributaries, including Sucker Creek, define this Upper Peninsula landscape. Near the junction of major roads like Old US Hwy 2 W, the town of Watersmeet serves as a central hub, flanked by essential local landmarks including the Watersmeet Post Office and the Watersmeet Township Cemetery. The area is characterized by a significant investment in forestry and conservation, as evidenced by the T.W. Toumey Nursery and the Watersmeet Fish/Trout Hatchery. North of the main settlement, the smaller community of Bonifas sits near the shores of Bass Lake, while the western edge reaches the community of Sylvania. A dense network of forest roads, such as Forest Hwy 5210, provides access to numerous smaller water bodies like Lake Audrey, Brush Lake, and Raven Lake, highlighting the region's reliance on its abundant water resources and timberlands.
