2019 Map of Anderson Lake

About this map

The West Branch Escanaba River and its tributary, the Little W Br Escanaba River, define the southern hydrology of this Marquette County landscape. A network of primitive roads and designated trails, such as the Anderson Lake Pathway and Flacks Lake Pathway, suggests a terrain managed for recreation and timber rather than dense habitation. The northern half is dotted with numerous small water bodies, including Bilsky Lake, Greenier Lake, and the connected Bobs Lake and Little Bobs Lake. The presence of the Bobs Creek Truck Trl and Escanaba River Rd indicates the importance of access for resource management in this wetland-heavy region. To the east, the expansive Cat Swamp and the drainage of Sawmill Creek illustrate the low-lying, saturated character of the Upper Peninsula interior during this period.
