About this map

Cote Dame Marie rises as a prominent landmark in this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a complex network of glacial hills and ridges such as Vosges Ridge, Taylor Hill, and the Three Sisters Range. The terrain is shaped by both conservation and military use, with a significant portion of the north dedicated to Camp Grayling and the south featuring the extensive recreational grounds of Higgins Lake. The area's settlement history is preserved at the Beaver Creek Cemetery and the living history exhibits of Wellington Farm Park.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by a grid of logging and forest roads, including Tower Hill Truck Trl and Spike Horn Rd, which weave through the wooded sections. For researchers of the local environment, the map documents the Higgins Lake State Nursery and two fire-watching landmarks: the Portage Lake Lookout Tower and Grass Lake Lookout Tower. The shoreline of Higgins Lake shows the established campgrounds and the small settlement at Tent City.
