2011 Map of Gimlet Creek

About this map

The Tahquamenon River winds through this section of the Upper Peninsula, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape dense with low-lying wetlands and seasonal watercourses. The river serves as a primary geographical anchor, joined by the Hendrie River and numerous tributaries like Savage Creek and Freeman Creek. Human presence is sparse, centered primarily around Betty B Landing on the riverbank and the linear track of Charcoal Grade Rd, which cuts across the northern interior. Small, isolated bodies of water such as Island Lake, Laurel Lake, and Gimlet Lake are scattered throughout the territory. The network of creeks, including the North Branch Murphy Creek and Auger Creek, suggests a complex hydrologic environment where land and water frequently intermingle.
