About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the shoreline of the Upper Peninsula meets the vast waters of the Great Lakes. The interior is defined by the complex hydrology of the Lake Superior State Forest, characterized by the slow-moving Blind Sucker River and the artificial expansion of the Blind Sucker Flooding. This area, situated within McMillan township, shows a landscape managed for timber and recreation in the late 1960s.

Transportation through the dense woodlands relies on a network of a Truck Trail, Jeep Trail, and footpaths, connecting isolated water bodies like Brucker Lake and Keopigen Lake. The presence of the Lake Superior Campground and Blind Sucker Campground highlights the region's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen. The boundary between Alger and Luce counties runs through the western section, dividing the territory near the Burt Seney State Forest.
