About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern shoreline of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the cold waters of the Carp River and Threemile Cr meet the Great Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of inland water bodies, including the large Betsy Lake and Bodi Lake, which sit amidst a topography marked by ridges and wetland basins. This 2014 survey documents the wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the lack of dense settlement in favor of natural features and forest management routes.

Foot travel and backroad access are central to this area, as seen in the route of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds past Culhane Lake and Little Lake. The presence of Little Lake Harbor suggests a refuge on the rugged coast, while a series of secondary routes like Crisp Point Rd and Tower Rd provide the only significant terrestrial links through the townships of t50n r8w and t49n r8w.
