About this map

Pictured Rocks Natl Lakeshore encompasses the northwestern portion of this Michigan landscape, where the Hurricane River Trl follows the course of the Hurricane River. The interior is characterized by the Kingston Plains and an extensive network of small lakes and ponds, including Kingston Lake and the adjacent Kingston Lake State Forest Campground. This 2011 survey captures a region defined by its hydrography, with the headwaters of the West Branch Fox River, Little Fox River, and Pelican Creek draining the eastern half of the quadrangle.

Transportation throughout this remote area relies on a system of forest trails and county roads, such as Baker Grade and Au Sable Point Trl, which navigate between named water bodies like Nevins Lake, Pelican Lake, and Kinsey Lake. The map illustrates a well-preserved natural corridor of the Upper Peninsula, showing how the landscape is managed for recreation and conservation across both national and state forest lands.
