Misery Bay on the southern shore of Lake Superior anchors this survey of Michigan's Copper Country. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Misery River and its various tributaries such as the North Branch Misery River and Little Misery River, which snake through the timbered terrain. Settlement is concentrated toward the southern boundary at Wyandotte and Winona, where the terrain transitions from the coastal lowlands to the higher ground of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Local recreation and geography are marked by the Wyandotte Hills Golf Course and the natural drop of Wyandotte Falls. Further north, Camp 18 and Pine Dam Lake represent the area's logging and water management history, reached via the transit corridor of Misery Bay Rd.
