About this map

Burt Lake dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where residential lakefront clusters like Waubun Beach, Chippewa Beach, and Kingsley Beach line the eastern shore. The western shoreline is defined by more irregular features, including Bullhead Bay, Snake Point, and the mouth of the Maple River. This 2011 survey highlights the region's historical and recreational significance through landmarks such as Saint Mary's Indian Cemetery near Maple Bay and the Ohioville Cemetery further south near Springwell Heights.

The map reveals a mix of established summer communities and protected areas, with the Maple Bay State Forest Campground preserved along the northwestern waters. Small settlements such as Elmhurst and Pittsburg Landing serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural routes like Indian Rd and W Burt Lake Rd. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the wetlands surrounding Pickerel Lake, fed by Berry Creek and Cedar Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Cheboygan River watershed.
