2017 Map of McCollum Lake

About this map

The Upper S Br Thunder Bay River and its numerous glacial kettle lakes define this northern Michigan landscape at the intersection of Alpena, Alcona, Montmorency, and Oscoda Counties. Large portions of the terrain fall within the Huron National Forest, where a network of forest roads like Saddleback Lake Rd and Perch Lake Rd provide access to isolated water bodies including Port Wine Lake, Saddleback Lake, and Lost Lakes. In the southeastern corner, residential and recreational development centers around McCollum Lake, where Black Rd and Co Hwy 607 connect local homesites. Near the lakeshore, the Mooney Cem serves as a small but significant landmark for local genealogy. The map details a complex drainage system of creeks and wetlands, such as Pike Cr and McGinn Cr, that feed the larger river system within these protected timberlands.
