2023 Map of Roy Lake

About this map

The Tahquamenon River winds through the southern edge of this Luce County landscape, a region defined by extensive wetlands and a network of interior lakes. These waters, including Roy Lake, Quintus Lake, and Lynch Lake, are connected by a web of small drainages like Murphy Creek and Auger Creek. The terrain is navigated via specialized forest routes such as Hunters Truck Trl and the descriptively named Charcoal Grade Rd, which suggests the area's history of timber and resource management. This survey provides a contemporary view of the Upper Peninsula’s hydrology, tracing the paths of Sucker Creek and Gimlet Creek as they flow through the low-lying reaches of the eastern Tahquamenon watershed.
