2011 Map of Lake Evelyn

About this map

The Montreal River and Black River systems define this Northwoods landscape on the border of Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A complex network of glacial kettle lakes and streams dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, where Lake Evelyn, Lake Dorothy, and Lake Barbara are connected by narrow forest roads like Moser Rd. The presence of the Pine Lake Lookout Tower in the southwest suggests the importance of fire observation in this heavily timbered region. Further east, Long Lake and American Lake sit near the intersection of County Hwy G and Collins Rd, while Horseshoe Island provides a distinct landmark within the larger water bodies. The topography is characterized by drainage patterns like Wester Creek and Underwood Creek that feed into the larger river basins, illustrating the remote and water-rich environment of the Lake Superior watershed.
