About this map

The Backus Creek State Game Area and Houghton Lake State Forest dominate this mid-century landscape in Roscommon County, characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and managed water levels. The presence of multiple flooding zones, including Little Mud Lake Flooding, Backus Creek Flooding, and Denton Creek Flooding, illustrates the mid-20th-century focus on wildlife habitat management and water control in Michigan's lower peninsula.
