About this map

Frost sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, situated within the expansive Ottawa National Forest. This region is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by a maze of Forest Service roads such as Forest Rd 1501 and 2210 Forest Rd. The drainage pattern is complex, with Beaver Cr, Silver River, and Gurgle Cr winding through the timberland.

Large water bodies like Echo Lake and Kentucky Lake are interspersed with smaller named features such as Chapman Pond, Still Lake, and Irish Lake. The map reveals the managed nature of the forest, showing established sites like Plantation Lakes and numerous designated trails like Nfst-1384 and Nfst-1361. These markings illustrate the transition of the Upper Peninsula interior from a raw wilderness into a surveyed and accessible public recreation and timber resource.
