About this map

The Manistee National Forest defines this section of northern Michigan, where the rugged topography of the Udell Hills transitions into a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems. Central to the map is the path of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the hills toward the Little Manistee River. The river corridor is marked by the historical crossing at Ninemile Bridge, a local landmark that has long served as a waypoint for travelers and recreationalists in the region.

Water is a dominant feature, with numerous small lakes such as Timmerman Lake, Pine Lake, and Lake of the Woods dotting the landscape. The settlement of Udell sits along State Hwy 55, providing a glimpse into the rural infrastructure of Manistee County during this period. The convergence of three counties—Manistee, Mason, and Lake—near the southern portion of the sheet illustrates the political boundaries that intersect this heavily forested terrain.
