About this map

The Michigan Wisconsin boundary cuts through this glacial lake district, dividing the northern reach of the Ottawa National Forest from the townships of Winchester and Presque Isle. Mapped in the early 1980s, the landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring hundreds of small water bodies like Henry Lake, Mishike Lake, and the uniquely named Twin Pups Lakes.

Evidence of recreational and small-scale logistical development appears in the form of a Landing Strip near Elbow Lake, multiple Public Access points, and a Campground near the West Branch Presque Isle River. Geologic activity is noted by the large Moraine formation running through the center of the sheet, while several Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction during this era of forest management.
