2023 Map of Lake NE

About this map

The Muskegon River and its surrounding wetlands define this portion of the Michigan landscape where Osceola and Clare counties meet. The area is heavily marked by glacial remnants, including Big Mud Lake and the expansive Big Cranberry Lake to the south. Historically significant corridors are evident in the alignment of Cadillac Dr and the Pere Marquette State Trl, which follows a former rail grade across the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Small-scale water features like Little Norway Lake and the curiously named Doc and Tom Creek suggest a terrain traditionally used for timber and seasonal recreation. The map also captures local landmarks such as Doss Field and a network of unpaved trails including the Lake Taho Trl, reflecting the region's managed forest character and dispersed rural residency.
