About this map

Wilderness State Park dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Emmet County landscape, where the waters of Lake Michigan meet a complex network of wetlands and inland lakes. The small settlement of Bliss sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural township. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Bliss Township Cem located near the intersection of Munger Rd and Pleasantview Rd.

The terrain is defined by low-lying hydrologic features such as Wycamp Lake, O'Neal Lake, and Canada Goose Pond, alongside the drainage of Big Sucker Cr and Little Sucker Cr. Navigation through this area is marked by a significant network of paths, most notably the N Country National Scenic Trail and the N Country Trail-Iron Belle Trail, which wind past landmarks like Billiau Hill and Mtn Nebo. These trails emphasize the area's transition from the open shoreline at Sturgeon Bay to the interior forests and swamps.
