About this map

Starvation Lake and a dense network of glacial kettle lakes define this northern Michigan landscape during the mid-1980s. Straddling the border of Antrim and Kalkaska counties, the region is characterized by thick woodlands protected within the Mackinaw State Forest and Pere Marquette State Forest. Recreational activity is centered around water bodies like Twin Lake, Blue Lake, and the remote Camp Flying Eagle near North Crooked Lake.

Resource extraction is evident through several sites including a Sand Pit and Gravel Pit, along with a Pumping Station indicating local infrastructure. Small, secluded waters such as Deadmans Lake, Papoose Lake, and Squaw Lake are tucked between the larger basins, reflecting the complex topography of the Blue Lake State Forest. A single Foot Bridge crossing near North Blue Lake provides a specific point of reference for trail navigation through these timbered tracts.
