About this map

The W Br Escanaba River and N Br Ford River flow through this section of the Upper Peninsula, marking a landscape defined by significant wetlands and isolated glacial lakes. Located along the border of Marquette and Dickinson counties, the area is characterized by its hydrological network, including Kates Lake, Little Kates Lake, and the uniquely named Lake Thirtysix.

Human presence is represented by a network of rural routes and specialized paths such as Tower Rd and the Moose Country Trl, which navigate the terrain between Big Brook and Cady Cr. These roads, including Cady Creek Rd and Buckler Rd, indicate a region primarily utilized for timber management or outdoor recreation rather than dense settlement, preserving the character of the Michigan Northwoods as it appeared in the early 21st century.
