2017 Map of Chabeneau Lake

About this map

Chabeneau Lake and its smaller counterpart, Little Chabeneau Lake, anchor a landscape dominated by complex waterways and wetlands in Marquette County. This region is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and marshlands, including the significant Sagola Swamp and the headwaters of the W Br Middle Br Escanaba River. The presence of the Edward F Johnson Airport provides a modern navigational point amidst the many named basins like Tanglefoot Lake, Lake Francoeur, and the cluster of Sagola Lakes. Numerous drainage systems such as Flat Rock Cr and Camp Eleven Cr weave through the timbered terrain, while a network of county roads and the Tower Truck Trl suggest a history of resource management and rural access. This survey details the hydrological patterns and elevation contours essential for understanding the remote interior of the Upper Peninsula.
