2023 Map of Nelson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Nelson Lake and Fence Lake anchor this 2023 survey of the remote woods straddling the Baraga Co and Iron Co boundary in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by a dense network of riparian corridors, most notably the East Branch Fence River which winds south through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Wilson Creek and Leonard Creek. A system of timber and access roads, including Fence River Rd and Cut Across Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through the heavy forest. This map reveals the modern state of these highlands, where recreation and resource management shape the land. Local history researchers can trace the modern paths of Tower Lake Rd and Smith Creek Rd as they navigate the wetlands and ridges surrounding Saint Johns Lake at the edge of the quadrangle.
