About this map

Burt Lake dominates the center of this landscape along the Emmet Co Cheboygan Co line, where the shoreline is punctuated by early 21st-century residential developments and seasonal retreats. On the eastern shore, the village of Indian River serves as a focal point, flanked by established beach communities like Wauban Beach and Chippewa Beach. The northern reaches include the settlement of Elmhurst and the prominent Colonial Point, while the southern end transitions toward Pickerel Lake.

Evidence of the area's deeper history is found in scattered landmarks such as Saint Mary's Indian Cem near Maple Bay and the isolated Harmon Grave near the lakefront. The complex network of water, including the Maple River, Crooked River, and Berry Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped local travel and recreation. Interior roads like Chickagami Trl and Moyer McKee Trl provide access to the undulating terrain and the small community of Springwell Heights.
