2011 Map of Buckroe

About this map

Lake Superior shorelines dominate this early 21st-century survey of the Upper Peninsula, where the rugged terrain of Marquette County meets the water. Small settlements like Birch and Buckroe are connected by a network of rural routes, including the appropriately named Gold Mine Rd, which hints at the region's mineral history. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring the drainage of the Big Garlic River and Little Garlic River, along with numerous inland bodies such as Blemhuber Lake, Echo Lake, and Dollar Lake. Notable topographic landmarks like Garlic Mountain and Saux Head Hill rise above the coast, while Little Garlic Falls marks a point of dramatic elevation change. The presence of County Rd 550 provides the primary transit artery through this forested coastal stretch, linking remote points like Thoneys Point to the broader township.
