2019 Map of Rice Lake

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the southeastern corner of this survey, where the waters of Little Traverse Bay meet the shoreline of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The interior is defined by a significant wetland and drainage system, most notably Rice Lake and the smaller Little Rice Lake, which are connected by a network of waterways including Giles Creek and McCallum Creek. The Traverse River flows through the northern reaches, while Mud Lake sits near the southern boundary, reflecting the water-rich geography of Houghton and Keweenaw Counties.
