2017 Map of Lake Stella

About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, where the border of Alger Co and Delta Co crosses a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the Sturgeon River and its tributary, the W Br Sturgeon River, flowing through the eastern reaches while the E Br Whitefish River and Whitefish River emerge in the west. This territory is defined by its numerous small water bodies, ranging from the prominent Lake Stella and Cleveland Cliffs Basin to more secluded spots like Saul Lake and Stoner Lake. The presence of Upper Eighteenmile Lake and various named creeks, including Haymeadow Creek and Cherry Cr, illustrates a wilderness area primarily managed for timber and conservation, with few permanent roads or settlements indicated.
