2014 Map of Winona South

About this map

Winona sits at the northern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, a settlement historically defined by the copper mining industry of the Copper Range. The terrain is marked by a complex network of waterways, including the E Br Firesteel River and the W Br Otter River, which carve through the heavily forested sections of the Ottawa National Forest. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Woodland Cem near Cemetery Lake, while the presence of Old Railroad Rd suggests the paths of former rail lines that once served the region's mineral interests. To the south, numerous small bodies of water like Courtney Lake, Sixmile Lake, and Butterfield Lake dot the basin, illustrating the glacial character of the Michigan backcountry.
