About this map

Yellow Dog River Falls and Big Pup Falls highlight a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and numerous watercourses in this northern Marquette County terrain. The northern reaches are dominated by the Yellow Dog River, which is fed by tributaries like Bushy Creek Falls and Alder Cr. To the south, the drainage pattern shifts toward the Big Garlic River and Little Garlic River systems. Transportation through this heavily forested area is limited to rural routes such as CR-510 and the descriptively named Gold Mine Rd. A cluster of water bodies including Regan Lake and the sequential First Bass Lake, Second Bass Lake, and Third Bass Lake suggests a geography shaped by glacial activity, offering a detailed view of the Michigan wilderness before further modern development.
