2023 Map of Buckroe

About this map

Lake Superior shoreline features dominate this northern Michigan landscape, where the rugged Upper Peninsula terrain meets the water at Saux Head Point and Thoneys Point. Inland, the 2023 survey reveals a geography defined by the winding paths of the Big Garlic River and Little Garlic River, which feed into the lake through a series of coastal marshes and lowlands. Small settlements such as Birch and Buckroe are connected by a network of county roads, while the North Country National Scenic Trail traverses the southern half of the quadrangle. The presence of Gold Mine Rd hints at the region's historical industrial interests, contrasting with the preserved natural areas surrounding Saux Head Lake and Blemhuber Lake. The map details a transition from the elevated heights of Garlic Mountain down to the secluded basins of Echo Lake and Dollar Lake.
