About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the Sturgeon River carves a winding path through the northern woods of Delta County. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetland drainage systems, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region in the early 21st century. Named water bodies like Waco Lake, Dana Lake, and Plumbob Lake are scattered across the terrain, reflecting a history of local naming conventions for these isolated basins.

Water management and natural drainage are further detailed by the presence of Eighteenmile Creek and Mink Creek, which feed into the larger river system. This survey provides a clear look at the forest road network and township boundaries, such as t42n r19w, showing how the land was partitioned for management within the national forest system. The concentration of lakes including Polack Lake, Narbon Lake, and Gleason Lake highlights the specific character of this backcountry area.
