About this map

Atlanta serves as the focal point of this northern Michigan landscape, situated where the Thunder Bay River flows through Briley Township. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, including Valentine Lake, Jackson Lake, and the larger East Twin Lake at the southeastern edge. These lakes are connected by a network of seasonal trails and specialized routes like the High Country Pathway and the Clear Lake - Jackson Lake Pathway, which navigate through the undulating elevations and the expansive Green Swamp.

Genealogists will find the Briley Cem established near the river, while the complex grid of local roads like Nickerson Valley Rd and Hungry Five Rd provides precise detail for tracing local land use. Smaller features such as De Cheau Lake, Pug Lakes, and Muskellunge Lake underscore the area's character as a classic Great Lakes backcountry region, defined more by its hydrography and forest access than by industrial development.
