About this map

The Escanaba River State Forest dominates this landscape in Marquette County, defined by a dense network of waterways and the eponymous Green Hills. Two major water systems, the Middle Branch Escanaba River and the main Escanaba River, navigate through the center of the sheet, supported by numerous smaller tributaries like Bryan Creek and Flopper Creek. The terrain is punctuated by a variety of glacial lakes, including the prominent Voelker Lake, East Voelker Lake, and Big Bass Lake.

Logistics and historical land use are evidenced by Camp Eleven in the southern portion of the survey, reflecting the area's timber and recreational heritage. Smaller water bodies such as Kidney Lake and Hawkins Ponds further illustrate the high water table and complex drainage patterns of this Upper Peninsula region. The map preserves the 1980s configuration of these state forest lands before modern developments or shifts in forest management.
