2023 Map of Lake Margrethe

About this map

Lake Margrethe and the expansive NG MTC-H Camp Grayling training grounds define this central Michigan landscape. The lake is a focal point for local geography, featuring established lakeside sites such as Danish Landing and McIntyre Landing. To the south and east, a cluster of named peaks including Hanson Hills, Mount Franklin, and Red Arrow Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, while the United States Government Military Cem sits near the small settlement of Rasmus. The environmental character of the region is preserved through the Kirtlands Warbler WMA and the winding course of the Manistee River, which cuts through the northwestern portion of the map. This area represents a critical intersection of military training facilities and recreational water bodies, where the Portage Creek drainage system links the high ground to the lake basin.
