About this map

The Black River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, connecting the small settlement of Manning to the northern shores of Black Lake. This 2017 survey reveals a region defined by its complex hydrology, where extensive wetlands like Alverno Swamp, Duck Marsh, and Kinsey Marsh dominate the terrain between scattered upland ridges. The northern half of the sheet is marked by long-standing infrastructure such as the Rail Road Grade Rd and Alpena St Rd, reflecting historic transit corridors through the marshy lowlands.

Conservation and recreation are prominent, with portions of the Hiawatha National Forest and the Black Mountain Recreation Area encompassing the higher elevations of Black Mtn. Aviation interest is localized at Hoffman's Black Mountain Aerodrome, situated near the Twin Lakes Outlet. Along the lakefront, Doriva Beach represents the area's residential and seasonal development, while isolated water bodies like Lake Sixteen and Mud Lake remain surrounded by dense vegetation.
