2017 Map of Corner Lake

About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the boundaries of Delta, Alger, and Schoolcraft counties meet. This interior region is characterized by a dense network of inland water bodies, ranging from the expansive Big Island Lake and Townline Lake in the north to the isolated Norway Lake and Forty Pond in the south. The absence of major settlements suggests a territory dedicated to recreation and conservation within the Upper Peninsula's forested tracts. Small, descriptively named features like Coattail Lake, Peewee Lake, and Spud Lake are scattered throughout the glacial terrain, providing a look at the wilderness character of the area in the early twenty-first century. This topographical detail is essential for understanding the distribution of water resources and forest access within these protected federal lands, including the areas surrounding Petes Lake and Herman Lake.
