1963 Map of Backus Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Backus Creek State Game Area and the Houghton Lake State Forest define this mid-century landscape in Roscommon County, showing a region managed for conservation and natural resources. The map highlights extensive wetland engineering, notably through several flooding projects including Backus Lake Flooding, Little Mud Lake Flooding, and Denton Creek Flooding. These man-made adjustments to the water table altered the local drainage patterns of the North Branch Denton Creek and Backus Creek, likely to support waterfowl and local ecosystems.
