About this map

Drummond Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this portion of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, where a complex network of waterways feeds into the primary drainage of the East Branch Net River. The terrain is characterized by numerous small lakes and glacial kettle ponds, including Mogans Lake in the northeast and Fox Farm Lake further south. These water bodies are connected by a series of creeks such as Tracy Creek and County Line Creek, illustrating the natural hydrologic flow of the region before significant industrial alteration.

Transportation through this forested landscape is restricted to a handful of local routes like Tracy Lake Rd and Cable Lake Rd. The presence of labels such as Fox Farm Creek and Fox Farm Lake suggests historical land uses related to early twentieth-century agriculture or fur trapping in an otherwise remote timber-producing area. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the quiet, water-dominated geography of Baraga County during the early twenty-first century.
