1989 Map of Bucks Pond

About this map

Huron National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the township boundaries of Mitchell and Millen meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water features, including Bucks Pond, Trout Lake, and Clear Lake, along with specialized wetland environments like Big Marsh, Pennys Marsh, and Mossy Bog. A notable transportation relic is the Old RR Grade in the southeast corner, reflecting the region's historical logging infrastructure. Higher ground is marked by features like Chin Whisker Hill, while the local economy is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Sandpit. The map also traces established forest routes such as Trask Lake Road and Raymond Road, alongside a dedicated Snowmobile Trail, illustrating the area's transition toward recreational use in the late twentieth century.
