About this map

Atlanta sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Thunder Bay River winds through a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area is defined by its water and woods, from the larger bodies of Crooked Lake and Avery Lake to the more secluded Morning Star Lake and the clusters at Sage Lakes. This 2017 survey details the transition from the settled areas near the Atlanta Municipal Airport into the higher elevations of the Avery Hills to the south.

Local history is reflected in the landscape through features like the Finnish Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle, a marker of the regional heritage. The map tracks the winding paths of several streams, including Barger Cr, Chadwick Cr, and Stage Cr, which feed the river system. Large-scale topographic detail captures the numerous equestrian trails that crisscross the central hills, highlighting the modern recreational character of this part of Montmorency County.
