2023 Map of Green Hills

About this map

Green Hills serves as the central point of this interior Marquette County landscape, where the Middle Branch Escanaba River and its numerous tributaries shape the terrain. The map reveals a dense network of forest roads and truck trails, such as Camp Truck Trl and Tower Truck Trl, which provide access to a complex system of glacial lakes and wetlands. The hydrography is dominated by named water bodies including Big Bass Lake, Voelker Lake, and Kidney Lake, often linked by small drainages like Bass Creek and Flopper Creek. The pattern of development here is typical of Upper Peninsula timberlands, defined more by specialized logging roads and seasonal access than by permanent residential settlements. This survey captures the region's character as a resource-rich wilderness, where geographic landmarks like Hawkins Ponds and Charley Lakes serve as primary points of orientation for those navigating the backcountry.
