Topo map with construction easement.pdf

This is a topographic map with construction easement documentation for a trail project involving Ontonagon County, Michigan, the National Park Service (via Porkies State Park), and the Ottawa National Forest. The map depicts a proposed National Scenic Trail (NST) route through the region, identifying the trail alignment post-construction along with a previous proposed route alternative. The project includes construction of a pedestrian bridge and utilization of an existing road and former rail grade that is currently cleared to 8-10 feet wide and in good condition. The map indicates a private inholding of 36 acres surrounded by State Park land, which represents a key consideration for the trail route alignment and easement negotiations.

The documentation illustrates the geographic and topographic context for the trail construction project, with the route traversing multiple creek systems including Lost Creek, Anderson Creek, Ash Creek, Little Iron River, Canada Creek, Hooded Creek, Elm Creek, Loggerhead Creek, and West Branch Iron River. The proposed route leverages existing infrastructure where feasible to minimize new construction requirements. No specific pricing, funding sources, contract terms, or award dates are indicated in this map document, suggesting it serves as a supporting exhibit for a larger procurement package detailing the project specifications and requirements.
