About this map

Manistee National Forest dominates this landscape in Newaygo and Lake Counties, showcasing a dense network of glacial kettle lakes and seasonal streams. The northern half of the survey is centered on Big Star Lake, a significant water body featuring the community of Pine Grove Beach and a cluster of smaller waters including Honeymoon Lake, Basford Lake, and Cecilia Lake.

Transit through this wooded terrain is defined by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds south toward Otterman Lake. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Pere Marquette River and Big S Br Pere Marquette River carving through the timberlands. This 2014 data captures the area's transition into a modern recreation destination while preserving the original names of remote water features like Amaung Lake and Saukau Lake that have long served as local landmarks.
