About this map

The Escanaba River and its numerous tributaries dominate this northern Michigan landscape, where the water table is expressed in an intricate cluster of named lakes. Towards the northwest corner, a dense network of glacial basins includes Tonkowa Lake, Sleighrunner Lake, Beltrame Lake, and Flacks Lakes. The Anderson Lake West State Forest Campground provides the primary point of recreational access near Anderson Lake, situated along the winding route of County Hwy EDD.

Southward, the drainage system transitions into a complex of moving water, defined by the West Branch Escanaba River and the Little West Branch Escanaba River. Local transport is facilitated by a network of timber and access trails like the Bobs Creek Truck Trl and Iron Pin Trl, which navigate the terrain between Bobs Creek and Wilson Creek. This geography reflects a remote portion of the Upper Peninsula where the hydrology dictates the layout of county roads and seasonal tracks.
