About this map

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore dominates the northern shoreline of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Grand Sable River and Hurricane River meet the coast. The interior is a dense network of water and timberland, split between the Burt State Forest and Seney State Forest. Small lakeside settlements like Green Haven and Sunrise Landing provide points of human activity amidst a vast collection of glacial lakes, including Deadman Lake, Bearfoot Lake, and Teal Lake.

Logistics across this wetland-heavy terrain are defined by the Sucker River system and historic paths like the Adams Trail and Hurricane Trail. The Gypsy Lake Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for fire observation, overlooking the marshy grounds near Little Gypsy Lake and the Alger Co Schoolcraft Co border. This survey preserves the mid-century character of the region's conservation lands and seasonal camps before modern development expanded.
