1985 Map of Marten Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Lake Sainte Kathryn and Marten Lake anchor this remote section of the Ottawa National Forest during the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands across the borders of Houghton, Baraga, and Iron Counties. While primarily an undeveloped wilderness, the map reveals the subtle infrastructure of resource extraction and transit, including a Gravel Pit near Toby Lake, a Sandpit further north, and a clear Pipeline corridor cutting through the northern woods. Significant water bodies like Nesbit Lake, Norway Lake, and Lake Thirteen are connected by a maze of minor streams such as Preston Creek and Marten Creek. The inclusion of a Boat Ramp at Nesbit Lake and a Roadside Spring near Kunze Lake suggests the area’s importance for seasonal recreation and local access in this sparsely populated stretch of the Upper Peninsula.
