2011 Map of Long Lake West

About this map

Long Lake dominates the northeastern landscape of this Presque Isle County region, where the residential clusters of Leroy and Orchard Point sit along its western and southern shores. The area is characterized by a high density of small lakes and drainages, including Clinton Lake and Mindack Lake, which feed into the North Branch Thunder Bay River and the larger Thunder Bay River to the south. Historically significant corridors like the Long Lake Hwy and Trapp Lake Hwy connect the rural settlements of Bolton and Cathro. Local history researchers will find the Pilgrims Rest Cemetery situated near the river, a key landmark for tracing early families in this lake-strewn portion of Michigan. The grid of local roads, such as Dietz Rd and Cathro Rd, reflects the agricultural and residential development that has shaped the township's interior over the decades.
