2017 Map of Thayer

About this map

The Cisco Branch Ontonagon River and its numerous tributaries, including Tenderfoot Cr and Thayer Cr, define the drainage patterns of this heavily forested section of the Ottawa National Forest. Small settlements such as Thayer and Stickley are linked by a network of forest roads and county routes, including Old US Hwy 2. The landscape is dotted with glacial lakes, from the prominent Beatons Lake and Langford Lake to the uniquely named Tuesday Lake and Misty Lake. The presence of Kakabika Falls on the river indicates the varied elevation of this northern Michigan terrain. This survey provides an exact look at the 2017 management of forest resources, highlighting the numerous National Forest System Trails like Nfst-7020 and Nfst-6903 that facilitate access through the woods and wetlands surrounding Cisco Lake.
