About this map

The West Branch Escanaba River meanders through this portion of Marquette County, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and seasonal watercourses. The river's reach is marked by the Boney Falls Basin, a significant widening of the channel that signals the area's hydroelectric history and water management. To the north, the terrain transitions into a dense network of smaller water bodies and specialized habitats, including the expansive Cyr Swamp and isolated basins like Bilsky Lake and Farquar Lake.

Public recreation and local transit routes are well-established here, evidenced by the Anderson Lake Pathway and Flacks Lake Pathway which circle Anderson Lake and Little Bobs Lake. These trails, along with a grid of rural connectors like Co Rd 557 and the Bobs Creek Truck Trl, provide access to the timberlands and fishing spots that characterize the local economy and lifestyle. The map also captures several smaller tributaries, such as Sawmill Creek and Chutes Cr, which feed into the larger Escanaba drainage system.
