About this map

Anvil Lake sits at the heart of this northern lake-land landscape, surrounded by a complex network of glacial water bodies and recreational grounds. The geography is marked by the Eastern Continental Divide Point of Interest, a significant hydrological marker that dictates the drainage patterns for the region's numerous basins, including Franklin Lake and Sevenmile Lake. This area is characterized by its seasonal use and outdoor heritage, evident in the distributed sites like Anvil Lake Campground and Franklin Lake Campground.

Cultural and historical markers provide a window into the region’s development, specifically the Military Road Point of Interest, which notes an early transportation corridor through the dense woods. Forestry and observation infrastructure is highlighted by the Anvil Lake Lookout Tower, while water management is indicated at the Lower Nine Mile Dam on Lower Ninemile Lake. The drainage network includes Blackjack Creek and the Deerskin River, connecting these varied lakes through a forested grid of service roads like Ninemile Rd and Deerskin Rd.
