2011 Map of Prickett Lake

About this map

Prickett Lake dominates the central landscape of this Upper Peninsula survey, where the Sturgeon River is harnessed by the Prickett Dam. The surrounding terrain in Baraga County is defined by a dense network of watercourses and forestry access routes, including Fire Line Rd and Forest Rd 193. To the southwest, the topography rises toward Silver Mount, overlooking the drainage basins of the Little Silver River and Mountain Creek. A notable hydrological feature is Sturgeon Falls, located south of the main reservoir where the river cuts through the northern woodlands. The map documents a rugged interior focused on water management and timber access, with numerous named seasonal and perennial streams like Farce Creek and Dry Wash Creek carving through the glaciated Michigan landscape.
