1985 Map of Mountain Lake

About this map

The Huron Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, characterized by a series of prominent peaks and high-elevation lakes along the border of Baraga and Marquette counties. Dramatic elevation changes are centered around Mountain Lake, which features Lumberman Bay and Dudley Point, while other summits like Mount Ida, Mount Benison, and Mummy Mountain punctuate the northern terrain. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the network of streams feeding the Salmon Trout River and the West Branch Trout River, which flow through the southern portion of the sheet near Dodge City. The southern boundary is defined by the Escanaba River State Forest, where the Fifth Correction Line marks a significant survey transition. This map preserves a view of the Upper Peninsula's interior wilderness before modern developments, showing the remote character of Cliff Lake and the various ponds and creeks that drain this high country.
