2017 Map of Carney Lake

About this map

Metropolitan sits in the northeast corner of this Michigan landscape, a region defined by a high density of glacial lakes and technical timber access routes. The W Br Sturgeon River winds through the northern sections, while the drainage network of Mitchell Cr and Pine Cr connects numerous water bodies like Crystal Lake and Moon Lake. The infrastructure of the area reflects both its industrial past and recreational present. Roads such as Groveland Mine Rd and Calumet Mine Rd point to the historic iron mining heritage of Dickinson County, while the extensive Merriman Ski Trail system demonstrates the more modern conversion of the landscape for outdoor use. Water resources are central here, with Carney Lake and its associated Carney Lake Outlet anchoring the southern half of the quadrangle.
