1989 Map of Sprinkler Lake

About this map

Huron National Forest and Au Sable State Forest define the landscape of this northern Michigan region near the border of Alcona and Iosco Counties. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the South Branch Pine River and Vandercook Creek, which carve through the townships of Millen and Mikado. In addition to the primary Sprinkler Lake, several smaller water bodies like Deter Lake are scattered throughout the forested tracts. The infrastructure reflects the area's recreational and resource-based utility in the late 1980s, featuring multiple gravel pits and an extensive system of forest routes such as Rearing Pond Trail and Snowmobile Trail. Local transit is facilitated by rural connectors like Mikado-Glennie Road and Hubbard Lake Road, which link the various forest compartments and private holdings.
