2023 Map of Betsy Lake SW

About this map

Luce County is defined by an intricate network of aquatic systems, where the famed Two Hearted River and its tributary, the Little Two Hearted River, dominate the northern drainage. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape of the Upper Peninsula largely preserved within the Lake Superior State Forest, showing a territory where water and timber remain the primary features. The map details the headwaters and course of several significant regional waterways, including the Betsy River and the Tahquamenon River, highlighting the low-lying terrain that characterizes this portion of Michigan. Significant bodies of water such as Betsy Lake, Clark Lake, and Sheephead Lake are clearly delineated, providing a modern record of the shoreline and wetland patterns that have shaped local recreation and natural resource management for generations.
