About this map

The Fence River and its multiple tributaries define the geography of this Iron County landscape in the early 2010s. The area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways including Hickman Creek, Smith Cr, and Nolencheck Cr, which feed into a series of scattered basins such as Hickman Lake and Lake Thirty Two. This hydrographic pattern is typical of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where glacial activity left behind a diverse collection of small lakes like Bates Lake, Little Spring Lake, and Bullhead Lake.

Access through this wooded terrain is provided by a system of specialized routes, including Camp Rd, Camp 1 Rd, and New DNR Rd, suggesting a landscape managed for forestry and conservation. These tracks connect more established thoroughfares like Deerfoot Lodge Rd and Fence River Rd, which trace the natural contours of the river valleys and high ground between the Mitchigan River and the various branches of the East Branch Fence River.
