2023 Map of Sheephead Lake

About this map

Shelldrake River winds through this section of the Upper Peninsula, carving a path through the wetlands and forests of Chippewa Co and Luce Co. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the expansive Goose Marsh and the South Branch Shelldrake River to the south. Sheephead Lake serves as a prominent landmark in the southwestern quadrant, surrounded by a network of seasonal trails and forest roads like W Farm Truck Trl and N Sheephead Rd. This modern survey illustrates the enduring wilderness character of the region, where roads such as W Betsy River Rd and W Vermillion Rd provide limited access to the interior. The map records the contemporary boundaries of townships like t50n r7w and t49n r7w, showing how the land remains partitioned by the Public Land Survey System amidst the natural drainages of Browns Creek.
