2023 Map of Chabeneau Lake

About this map

The West Branch Middle Branch Escanaba River meanders through this portion of Marquette County, defining a landscape dominated by glacial lakes and wetlands. The central region is characterized by the expansive Sagola Swamp, surrounded by smaller water bodies like the Sagola Lakes and Lake Pork Chop. Human presence is marked by a network of county roads and the isolated Edward F Johnson Airport, which serves this remote area of the Upper Peninsula. Several lakes, including Johnson Lake and Kaski Lake, suggest the importance of local family names in the region's geography. The map also traces various creeks that feed into the larger river system, such as Wild West Creek and Camp Eleven Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the T45N and T46N townships.
