1981 Map of Black Oak Lake

About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates the upper half of this 1981 survey, where the Michigan and Wisconsin border cuts through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation history, featuring the Sylvania wilderness area and numerous Campgrounds distributed around Whitefish Lake and Clark Lake. The transition from Gogebic County, Michigan, to Vilas County, Wisconsin, is marked by a shift toward more developed access points, including a Fish Hatchery and several boat ramps.
