2011 Map of Marten Lake

About this map

Sidnaw Lookout Tower overlooks an extensive network of waterways and forest roads in this northern Michigan landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Marten Lake, Lake Thirteen, and the interconnected waters of Norway Lake and Little Nesbit Lake. These water bodies are linked by a complex drainage system featuring Dead Stream, Marten Creek, and the East Branch Ontonagon River. Cultural activity is centered primarily around seasonal recreation and forestry, evidenced by the Nesbit Lake Organization Camp, the Norway Lake Campground and Picnic Area, and the Lake Sainte Kathryn Campground. A labyrinth of forest service roads, such as Usfs 2108 and Federal Forest 2460 Rd, provides access through the timberlands, connecting isolated points like Borsch Rd and Sidnaw South Rd within the Ottawa National Forest region.
