2019 Map of Buckeye Lake

About this map

Buckeye Lake and a dense network of kettle lakes characterize this portion of Columbus Township in the late 2010s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named water bodies such as Murray Lake, Wolf Lake, and the curiously named Deadmans Lake. This map captures a transition in the local timber and recreation economy, where historical camps and club roads like Whorl Club Rd and Chevrolet Camp Rd provide access to the interior. The drainage pattern is anchored by Silver Creek, which feeds into small catchments including Brockies Pond and Buckies Pond in the southeastern quadrant. A grid of local connectors, such as McMillan Ave and Ross Lake Rd, navigate the depressions and ridges of the Upper Peninsula terrain, illustrating the persistent reach of the county road system into these wetland-rich environments.
