About this map

The settlement of Gilchrist serves as a small anchor in this heavily wooded landscape of Mackinac County. A complex network of drainage and wetlands defines the geography, with the North Branch Gold Creek and South Branch Gold Creek flowing westward toward more significant water bodies. To the south, the Lower Millecoquins River cuts across the corner of the map, while the eastern edge is marked by the Black River.

Navigation through the area relies on a series of forestry roads and trails, such as Finn Farm Rd and Hiawatha Trl, which provide access to numerous small, isolated lakes. Notable named water features include Lake Louise, Nelson Lake, and the uniquely named Pullup Lake. This 2011 survey captures the region's character as a timber and recreation-oriented landscape, where modern road classifications like Naubinway Rd meet older routes such as Camp 4 Trl.
