2017 Map of Bucks Pond

About this map

The Huron National Forest landscape in northern Michigan is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes, wetlands, and ridges. Central to this area is Bucks Pond, surrounded by specialized terrain features such as Chin Whisker Hill and the Kelly Hills. The presence of the Reid, 12-10 Railroad Grade in the south provides a window into the timber-era infrastructure that once crisscrossed these woods, now largely replaced by forest service roads and recreational paths. Water is the primary character of this quadrangle, ranging from named marshes like Big Marsh and Fannys Marsh to the tucked-away Lake in the Green. The southern portion is notably dominated by the Reid Lake Trails system, which circumnavigates Reid Lake and Trout Lake, tracing the high ground above the W Br Pine River.
