About this map

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Hurricane River flows toward the Superior coast. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands concentrated in the eastern and southern sectors, including Pelican Lake, Birch Lakes, and Nevins Lake. The central topography is defined by the Kingston Plains, a distinct terrain feature flanked by Kingston Lake and Kingston Pond.

Transportation through this part of the Upper Peninsula is characterized by a mix of established routes and recreational trails. The Fox River Pathway winds through the center of the map, following the drainage of the W Br Fox River and the Little Fox River. These waterways, along with scattered landmarks like Wolf Lake and Deer Lake, illustrate the remote, water-defined character of the Alger and Schoolcraft county line.
