2012 Map of Island Lake

About this map

Union Corners and Shotgun Corners anchor this landscape of the Huron-Manistee National Forest region in the early twenty-first century. The area is defined by a dense cluster of glacial kettle lakes, including Island Lake, Loon Lake, and Wagner Lake, which support recreational sites like the Island Lake Recreation Area and Wagner Lake Campground. The E Br Big Cr and Lost Cr drain the northern sections of the map, carving through the terrain near the Sidewinder Golf Course. Local history and genealogy interests are centered at the Union Corners Cem located along Valley Rd. To the east, Timberline Mountain rises above the lake district, providing a prominent landmark near Shaw Lake and the Paul Bunyon Camp. A network of forest roads like Deyarmond Valley Rd and Mapes Rd connect these remote settlements and recreational outposts.
