2014 Map of Betsy Lake South

About this map

The Tahquamenon River winds through this Upper Peninsula landscape, a region defined by its complex drainage networks and low-lying wetlands. Long-distance hikers pass through the terrain via the N Country National Scenic Trail, which skirts the northern shore of Rat Lake and continues toward the northeast corner of the quadrangle. The hydrology here is exceptionally dense, featuring the headwaters and branches of the Little Two Hearted River alongside numerous creeks like Linton Cr and Callam Cr. Cultural markers such as Camp 7 Rd and Charcoal Grade Rd suggest the area's history of logging and resource extraction. Significant natural landmarks include the Upper Falls and The Big Spring, while Joys Island sits as a prominent feature within the river’s broader floodplain.
