2019 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

The Ottawa National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, straddling the border of Baraga and Marquette counties. This interior wilderness is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and headwater streams, including the north-flowing W Br Huron River and the south-flowing Peshekee River. The land is crisscrossed by legacy logging infrastructure, now appearing as the Huron Bay Grade and Peshekee Grade, which hint at the region's industrial timber history. Modern recreational use is represented by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle past Lake Arfelin. Significant water bodies such as Summit Lake and White Deer Lake are joined by dozens of smaller basins like Camp Eleven Lake, indicating the remote and undeveloped character of this high-country drainage divide.
