About this map

Three Lakes and Imperial Heights anchor this Upper Peninsula landscape, where water and wilderness define the settlement pattern. Situated in the heart of Baraga County, the area is dominated by the extensive boundaries of Craig Lake State Park, which encompasses numerous glacial lakes including Craig Lake, Crooked Lake, and Teddy Lake. The terrain is interconnected by a network of recreational and access routes, most notably the North Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the northern half of the quadrangle.

A distinct cluster of lakes in the central and southern regions, including Beaufort Lake, George Lake, and Petticoat Lake, suggests a high concentration of seasonal and permanent lakeside development, supported by local roads like Petticoat Lake Road and Beaufort Lake Road. The drainage of the Spruce River and Petticoat Creek further illustrates the complex hydrology of this Michigan forestland, providing a detailed look at the region's contemporary conservation and residential footprint.
