2012 Map of Sprinkler Lake

About this map

Sprinkler Lake and Delap Lake sit at the western edge of this Alcona County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the drainage basin of the Pine River. The northern terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including McGillis Cr and Gimlet Cr, while the southern reaches are marked by the steady flow of Vandercook Cr and Roy Cr. The road system follows a traditional grid pattern typical of Michigan's forested interior, with major local routes like W Mikado-Glennie Rd and Kings Corner Rd providing access to the more secluded areas near the Pine River Campground. This map documents a quiet, water-rich environment just as modern forestry and recreation patterns were firmly established in the region.
