1986 Map of Oak Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Fisheries Research Area along Hunt Creek defines the northern reaches of this mid-1980s terrain, where state-managed conservation lands dominate the landscape. This area, spanning the border of Montmorency and Oscoda counties, is characterized by a dense network of glacial kettle lakes and ponds. Traces of previous industrial activity appear as an Old RR Grade, which winds through the Au Sable State Forest and past the western shores of Oak Lake. These former rail paths, once used for timber extraction, now serve as structural markers through the wooded townships of Elmer and Clinton. The map documents a complex hydrology of interconnected waters, including East Fish Lake, Middle Fish Lake, and the expansive Bushman Swamp, illustrating the specialized environmental management that has long protected this section of Northern Michigan.
