2011 Map of North Lake

About this map

Walton River and Elwood Creek define the drainage of this forested landscape in Menominee County, leading toward the shoreline of Green Bay. The terrain is marked by numerous small water bodies and marshes, including North Lake, Little Lake, and the well-defined Hoglund Lake to the northwest. This 2011 survey documents a relatively undeveloped section of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where the Cedar River flows through the northeast corner, supporting the Cedar River North State Forest Campground. The network of small streams like Crystal Brook, Big Brook, and Dry Creek illustrates the intricate hydrology of the region before it meets the larger bay, providing a clear record of the area's natural state in the early 21st century.
