2014 Map of Ned Lake

About this map

The Baraga and Iron County line divides this remote Upper Peninsula landscape, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. Central to the area is Ned Lake, which feeds into Ned Lake Creek and eventually the southern drainages. To the west, the winding paths of Flanigan Slough and Shank Lake mark low-lying areas, while the Tioga River flows through the northeast. This 2014 survey documents a land managed for timber and recreation, evidenced by primitive access routes like The Grade Rd and Ned Lake Rd. These roads follow old corridors through the woods, connecting isolated water bodies such as Bone Lake and Long Lake. The map illustrates a contemporary view of the Michigan backcountry, showing how modern forestry and conservation access points intersect with historic named creeks like La Fournier Cr and the W Br Fence River.
