About this map

Three Lakes and Imperial Heights anchor this Upper Peninsula landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and recreational lands defines the local character. The area is dominated by the sprawling Craig Lake State Park in the north and the extensive waters of Beaufort Lake and Petticoat Lake further south. The Spurr River meanders across the center of the sheet, connecting several smaller basins including George Lake, Middle Lake, and Trout Lake.

Evidence of historical forest management and fire observation is found at the Three Lakes Lookout Tower, while modern recreation is represented by the Beaufort Lake State Forest Campground. Local names like Koskela, Hyry Rd, and Lampinen Rd in the southeastern quadrant reflect the cultural heritage of the area's residents. The map captures a high degree of hydrographic detail, from the isolated Pea Soup Lake to the headwaters of the Spruce River.
