About this map

Silver City stands as a focal point of this coastal landscape along the southern shore of Lake Superior. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways draining north into Union Bay, including the Big Iron River, Mineral River, and Little Iron River. The dramatic elevation changes in Ontonagon County are evidenced by a sequence of waterfalls such as Bonanza Falls, Pewabeck Falls, and the Little Union Gorge Falls. To the south, the namesake settlement of Nonesuch near Nonesuch Falls recalls the copper mining history of the Porcupine Mountains region. Modern infrastructure like the 107th Engineers Memorial Hwy and local roads like Seward Ave provide access to this transition from the shoreline at Gull Point to the elevated interior woodlands.
