Mount Bohemia is a backcountry style ski resort in the Uper Peninsula of Michigan. After visiting many times, I noticed that none of there trail maps effectively represent the mountain, so I decided to give it a try myslef. This trail map follows a typical ski map style and represnts all mountain features. The map is a top down view and the tree density is intended to correlate to actual tree density on the mountain.
