2023 Map of Powell Lake

About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this landscape in Alger County, defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and an extensive network of modern recreational trails. The settlement of Coalwood sits in the northwest, serving as a focal point for several branching paths including the Coalwood Grade Atv Trl. The map illustrates a complex hydrological system where larger bodies like Powell Lake and Hovey Lake are interspersed with smaller ponds such as Misty Lake and Moth Lake. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the Indian Wild And Scenic River, which flows through a mosaic of wetlands. This recent survey highlights the area's contemporary role as a recreational hub, detailing specialized routes like the Oakwood Equestrian North Loop Trl and the North Country National Scenic Trl, while identifying small localities like Kentucky in the southeast.
