2019 Map of Kelso Junction

About this map

Kelso Junction serves as the primary focal point of this northern Michigan landscape, situated where the waters of the Paint River and the Michigamme Reservoir converge. The area is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Upper Holmes Lake, Polliwog Lake, and the distinctly named Liver Lake. The terrain is crisscrossed by secondary roads and forest tracks like Enstrom Cutoff and Rock Crusher Rd, reflecting the region's historic ties to the timber and mining industries. Small tributaries such as Shenko Cr, McCutcheon Cr, and Saint Paul Cr weave through the forest, feeding into larger systems like the Deer River. Local landmarks like Shoe Pac Lake and family-named routes such as Challancin Landing Rd provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of Crystal Falls Township.
