2017 Map of Udell

About this map

Udell and the high ridges of the Udell Hills dominate this section of the Manistee National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Manistee River. The map reveals a dense network of recreational trails and forest roads, including the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Marzinski Horse Trail, intersecting a terrain rich with glacial hydrology. Small, secluded water bodies like Timmerman Lake, Pomeroy Lakes, and Lake of the Woods are scattered throughout the wooded lowlands. In the southern half, the Little Manistee River crosses beneath the Ninemile Bridge as it flows toward the Mason County line. This 2017 survey serves as a detailed guide to the complex topography of the Big M area, where distinctive local names like Big M - Shanty Boy and Big M - Gabriel's Horn mark the varied elevations.
