1986 Map of Lake Geneva

About this map

Canada Creek Ranch serves as a primary point of human settlement in this mid-1980s landscape, which is heavily defined by the extensive water systems of the Mackinaw State Forest. The map documents a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the central Tomahawk Lake and the Mackinaw Flooding, where Tomahawk Creek is widened and shaped by northern hydrology. To the south, Clear Lake State Park provides a recreational anchor near Clear Lake. This provisional survey illustrates the land's transition between the borders of Cheboygan, Presque Isle, and Montmorency counties. The topography is marked by numerous small, isolated basins like Shoepac Lake and Bear Den Lake, connected by minor waterways such as Canada Creek and Montague Creek, reflecting a region largely preserved for forest management and conservation.
