2017 Map of Buckroe

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the eastern edge of this Michigan coastline, where the rugged terrain of Marquette County meets the water at Thoneys Point and Saux Head Point. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Big Garlic River and Little Garlic River carving through the highlands. A significant interpretive feature is the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the southern interior past Blemhuber Lake and Echo Lake, offering a modern corridor through a territory once shaped by early northern industry and seasonal settlement. Small outposts like Birch and Buckroe sit along the coastal routes, while landmarks such as Garlic Mtn and Saux Head Hill provide verticality to the shoreline topography. The presence of Little Garlic Falls and numerous family-named creeks, including Harlow Cr and Nash Cr, highlights a region deeply tied to its wilderness drainage patterns and remote coastal character.
