1972 Map of Merwin Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Manistique River winds in tight, serpentine oxbows through this portion of the Manistique River State Forest in the early 1970s. This landscape in Doyle township is defined by its complex hydrology, where the river meets numerous tributaries like Duck Creek, Clemons Creek, and Bear Creek. The low-lying terrain is characterized by the expansive Bear Creek Swamp to the east and a series of smaller water bodies including Merwin Lake, McIntyre Lake, and Mud Lake. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Woods Sch and the adjacent Woods Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Schoolcraft County. Navigation through the timber and wetlands is facilitated by the Highwater Truck Trail and Riverside Truck Trail, while the Merwin Creek Campground and a Boat Ramp indicate the area's recreational use during this era.
