Edward F Johnson Airport (M61) sits in Ishpeming, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,446 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts, so verify the current runway layout with the current FAA Chart Supplement before you plan a landing. The field is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This airport is closed December through April and when snow covered. That matters here. Plan on seasonal access issues and verify the field status before departure. The remarks also call out a 419 ft lighted tower about 6,100 ft south of the airport and 600 ft right of the runway 18/36 extended centerline. That is a real factor for arrival and departure planning. The published remarks also mention rough surface and sandy areas on runway 18/36, plus cones at both ends. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. With no on-field FBOs listed, call the airport operator directly or the field on CTAF for current local services before you go.
