2015 Map of Presque Isle

About this map

Presque Isle sits at the northern edge of this Northwoods landscape, where the state line meets the Ottawa National Forest. The area is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways, connected by forest roads like Co Rd B and Co Rd K. The sprawling, multi-lobed Crab Lake and the expansive Big Crooked Lake dominate the central and southern portions of the terrain, while the meandering Rice Creek provides a vital hydrological link between several smaller basins. To the southeast, the Boulder Junction Payzer Airport marks a modern point of arrival for this recreational corridor. The map reveals a dense concentration of named water bodies, including Bear Lake, Wolf Lake, and Lynx Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have historically shaped local settlement and the Northwoods timber and tourism economy.
