2017 Map of Albany Island

About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Michigan landscape, where the Upper Peninsula meets the cold waters of Lake Huron. The terrain is defined by a dense network of inland waters and marshy drainage, including Big Trout Lake and Little Trout Lake, which feed into Trout Cr. Along the shoreline, Albany Harbor and Albany Bay provide sheltered waters behind the protective landmass of Albany Island. The map illustrates a primarily undeveloped wilderness, with a sparse grid of roads such as S Scenic Rd and S Campground Rd tracing the lake's edge. This 2017 data captures the intersection of Chippewa and Mackinac counties, highlighting the remote character of the Les Cheneaux region before more significant coastal development. Smaller features like Cranberry Lake and Joe Straw Cr indicate the intricate hydrology of this timbered and wetland-rich environment.
