About this map

Gilchrist serves as a lone hub of settlement in this 2014 survey of the Upper Peninsula, situated along the southern rail corridor where the landscape begins its transition toward Lake Michigan. The surrounding terrain in Mackinac Co and Luce Co is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and namesake glacial lakes, including Pullup Lake, Cranberry Lake, and Lake Louise.

Transport and land use patterns are revealed through a web of forest and farm tracks, such as Finn Farm Rd and the McLeod Truck Trl, which navigate the drainage basins of the North Br Gold Cr and South Br Three Mile Cr. The presence of the Hiawatha Trail Rd underscores the area's importance for transit and recreation within the vast timberlands of northern Michigan, providing a clear view of the region's mid-2010s infrastructure and natural drainage.
