2012 Map of Udell

About this map

The Little Manistee River meanders across this landscape, defining the southern valley below the elevated terrain of the Udell Hills. This 2012 survey reveals a transition between the dense forest management of the northern reaches and the rural development clustered around the settlement of Udell. Historical landmarks like the Udell Lookout Tower and the Glenoak School sit among a network of Forest Service trails and county roads, reflecting the area's long-standing use for timber and fire management. To the south, the river provides a focal point for recreation at the Bear Track Campground and the small settlement of Ninemile Bridge. The map is punctuated by numerous small water bodies, including Lake of the Woods, Timmerman Lake, and several secluded basins like Buckwheat List Lake and Pomeroy Lakes, which characterize the glacial topography of Manistee County.
