2019 Map of Sheephead Lake

About this map

Shelldrake River winds through the wetlands of McMillan Township, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled corner of the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is dominated by complex water systems, from the expansive Goose Marsh to the broadened channel of The Widewaters. Near the boundary of Luce Co and Chippewa Co, Sheephead Lake sits surrounded by a network of timber and farm trails, reflecting the area's continued reliance on seasonal access and resource management. The intricate topography of the S Br Shelldrake River and Bronson Cr illustrates a terrain largely shaped by glacial deposits, where narrow roads like W Betsy River Rd and N Maple Block Rd provide the only passage through the dense marshes and forests.
