About this map

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore dominates the northern reaches of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Hurricane River flows toward the coast. The terrain is a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, characterized by a dense concentration of smaller water bodies such as Teal Lake, Moccasin Lake, and the aptly named Pothole Lake. Near the eastern boundary, the Sucker River meanders south of Grand Sable Lake, providing a distinct contrast to the more isolated upland basins found further west.

Transportation through this wooded backcountry relies on a grid of forest routes and county roads, including the Rhody Truck Trl and Sunset Landing Rd. The small settlement at Green Haven represents one of the few points of organized human activity in an area otherwise defined by its hydrology and the boundary line between Alger Co and Schoolcraft Co. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of Dr Mull Cr and Rhody Cr as they navigate the ridges and depressions of the interior.
