The Upper South Branch Thunder Bay River meanders through this portion of the Huron National Forest, where the corners of Alpena, Alcona, Montmorency, and Oscoda counties meet. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including McCollum Lake, Port Wine Lake, and the connected Big Ward Lake and Little Ward Lake. The area's human history is marked by the Mooney Cem near Black Rd, while its recreational character is evidenced by the numerous named lakes like Saddleback Lake and Island Lake. A grid of forest roads, such as Saddleback Lake Rd and Durkee Lake Rd, provides access to this aquatic landscape where creeks like Pike Cr and McGinn Cr drain the sandy interior.
