About this map

Gilchrist serves as the primary point of settlement in this northern Michigan landscape, situated at the intersection of Lake Rd and Fisher. The surrounding terrain is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and inland water bodies, including the significant Cranberry Lake Bog and isolated basins like Dollar Lake and Lake Louise. The geography is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, such as N Br Gold Cr and Threemile Cr, which flow through the forested lowlands.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a grid of specialized routes including the Mc Leod Truck Trl and Naubinway Rd. The presence of Finn Farm Rd suggests the historical agricultural efforts in a region otherwise dominated by timber and bog environments. Near the boundary of Luce and Mackinac counties, features like Pullup Lake and Ear Lake illustrate the glacial heritage of the Upper Peninsula’s hydrology.
