2023 Map of Udell

About this map

Udell Hills dominate this portion of the Manistee National Forest, where the landscape is defined by glacial terrain and a complex network of wetlands and small kettle lakes. This modern 2023 survey illustrates the northern Michigan wilderness across the intersection of Manistee, Mason, and Lake counties. The Little Manistee River meanders through the southern half of the map, fed by numerous seasonal drainages and surrounding water bodies like Lake of the Woods and the Pomeroy Lakes. To the north, the small settlement of Udell sits near the headwaters of Pine Creek. The intricate road system, including Nine Mile Bridge Rd and Steinburg Rd, provides access to these forested uplands, highlighting the area's significance for timber management and outdoor recreation. Large features like Hoppers Swamp and Timmerman Lake reflect the high water table that characterizes this woodland environment.
