2011 Map of Lake Margrethe

About this map

Lake Margrethe serves as the focal point of this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by its complex network of recreational camps and significant military presence. Along the eastern shores, the established footprint of Camp Grayling and the United States Government Military Cemetery underscore the area's long-standing connection to defense training. Several distinct access points including McIntyre Landing, Danish Landing, and Collens Landing define the shoreline, while the surrounding terrain is marked by named elevations such as Thompson Hill and Mount Franklin. To the north and west, the headwaters and branches of the Manistee River and Au Sable River wind through state forest lands, supported by campgrounds like the Upper Manistee River State Forest Campground. This 2011 survey captures the intersection of public conservation, private seasonal residences, and military infrastructure in the Crawford and Kalkaska county borderlands.
