About this map

Glacial depressions and water bodies dominate the landscape of Columbus Township in the early twenty-first century, characterized by a complex network of small lakes and seasonal drainages. Auger Lake and the nearby Cleveland Cliffs Lake sit at the heart of this terrain, surrounded by numerous smaller basins such as Donut Lake, Ahlman Lake, and Reds Lake. The map reveals a land management history through its nomenclature, with locations like Camp Seven Lake and Camp Five Lake suggesting a legacy of organized camps or industrial outposts in this part of Luce County.

Transportation is defined by a grid of county roads and named tracks like Camp One Trl and Charcoal Grade Rd, which link isolated junctions including Eightmile Corner and Fourmile Corner. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by M-123, providing the primary north-south artery through this wetland-rich environment. This survey captures the modern state of these remote water systems, from the headwaters of Auger Cr to the tucked-away Spring Hill Lake.
