About this map

Winona anchors the northern portion of this Copper Country landscape, a region defined by its industrial history and vast woodlands. Evidence of the area's mining past is preserved through labels for Tailings and a Mine Shaft near the settlement, while a Railroad grade tracks the movement of ore through the hills. This 1982 survey reveals a complex network of forest management and public lands, with the Mishwabic State Forest and Ottawa National Forest covering much of the terrain.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the meandering Elm River to the cluster of lakes such as Cemetery Lake and Woodland Cemetery. Further south, the Simar Landing Strip and a Boat Ramp at Courtney Lake indicate pockets of accessibility for transportation and recreation within the dense forest. The map also delineates the Ontonagon and Houghton County line as it cuts through the watershed of Sleepy Creek and Sixmile Lake.
