About this map

The settlement of Steuben serves as a focal point in this portion of the Hiawatha National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The protected Big Island Lake Wilderness dominates the western side of the map, preserving a cluster of water bodies including Byers Lake, Twilight Lake, and Jarr Lake. This environment supports specialized infrastructure like the Bass Lake Airport, which sits adjacent to Bass Lake.

Outdoor recreation and conservation management are central to this area, evidenced by the Indian Wild and Scenic River and numerous established routes. The Haywire Grade Atv Trl and Clear Lake Interpretive Trl provide access through the dense forest and around the headwaters of Stutts Creek. These trails, along with the Bil - Twilight-Byers-Hike Trl, trace the modern usage of the timberlands near the boundary of Delta and Schoolcraft counties.
