2019 Map of Gimlet Creek

About this map

The Tahquamenon River winds through this expanse of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, joined by several tributaries including Freeman Cr and Atwood Cr. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Gimlet Lake and Laurel Lake sit amidst vast wetlands and feeder streams like Gimlet Cr and Savage Cr. The river system served as a primary artery for the region's early industries, a history subtly reflected in names like Charcoal Grade Rd. Settlement is sparse, with Betty B Landing serving as a notable point of access along the river. In the southeastern corner, the Hendrie River flows through the lowlands, while several local routes such as Murphy Creek Rd and Skyline Rd provide passage through the dense forest and marsh terrain.
