2011 Map of Starvation Lake

About this map

Starvation Lake and a dense network of kettle lakes define this glaciated landscape in Kalkaska County. The terrain is marked by recreation and conservation sites, most notably the Pickerel Lake State Forest Campground and the Pickerel Lake Lookout Tower overlooking the water. While the area is dominated by smaller named bodies like Papoose Lake, Squaw Lake, and Deadmans Lake, larger features such as North Blue Lake and Twin Lake provide significant points of interest for local geography. The map reveals a transition from these clustered water bodies to the winding path of Goose Creek in the southeast. Cultural features like Camp Flying Eagle and various gravel roads such as Cinder Hill Rd and Sunset Trail Rd suggest a landscape used primarily for seasonal recreation and timber management in the early 21st century.
