2017 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and historical transport routes. Straddling the border of Baraga Co and Marquette Co, the area features significant hydrological landmarks including the W Br Huron River, Summit Lake, and White Deer Lake. The map reveals a history of movement through the woods, preserved in the paths of the Huron Bay Grade and the Peshekee Grade. Modern recreation is represented by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds past Lake Arfelin and Little Bear Lake. Local naming conventions are evident in features such as Camp Eleven Lake, suggesting the legacy of early 20th-century logging camps that once operated throughout this forested interior.
