SEAFARER Site Survey, Upper Michigan Region. Book 12. Slope and Terrain Data.

Abstract

The Study Area and the land farther to the west is quite rocky and either mountainous or rolling. The Huron Mountains are located within the area and have a lake/knob topography with high rocky tree covered crests and many lakes between them. In these mountains, the steepest terrain in the area occurs with a vast majority of the range having slopes over 20% and some areas with slopes in excess of 45%. The land along the eastern portion of the Study Area boundary is flat with only small isolated areas having slopes steeper than 10%. (Author)
