About this map

The Huron-National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a dense network of forest service roads and recreational trails. The settlement of Goodar sits at the intersection of Ogemaw, Iosco, Oscoda, and Alcona counties, serving as a gateway to the wooded interior. Water features are abundant across the terrain, including Hughes Lake, Redhead Lake, and the clustered Three Lakes. Small waterways like Ninemile Creek and Wilbur Creek drain through the undulating topography.

Outdoor navigation is a primary theme of the area, as evidenced by the long-distance Mack - McKinley Trail and the complex Mack Lake Loop Trail. Historical transport patterns are visible in routes such as the Six Mile Grade, hinting at the region's logging heritage. The map also marks several state-managed management areas, including Oscoda-Alcona SMT DNR96, highlighting the intensive natural resource and recreation management defining this portion of the state.
