2011 Map of Beaver Lake

About this map

Beaver Lake and the southeastern reaches of Fletcher Pond anchor this portion of Alpena County, showing a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and recreational infrastructure. The western shore of Beaver Lake is developed with a dense network of local routes such as Beaver Shores Dr and Ponderosa Dr, while the eastern side remains more sparsely settled along Lake Shore Dr. Historically significant landmarks include the Spratt Cemetery near Spratt Rd and the Turtle Lake Lookout Tower in the southwestern corner, reflecting the region's long-standing focus on forest management. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides clear detail on the numerous creeks, such as Rayburn Creek and Butterfield Creek, that feed the local water systems amidst a grid of rural township roads.
