2017 Map of Walkup Lake

About this map

Manistee National Forest dominates this section of Newaygo County, where the Big S Br Pere Marquette River winds through the western terrain. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, connected by small watercourses like Triple Lakes Cr and Winnepesaug Cr. This 2017 survey details a region primarily utilized for recreation and conservation, featuring the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it traverses the eastern sections near Nichols Lake and Walkup Lake. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as Alger Ave and Osborn Ave that provide access to more secluded water bodies, including Crepin Lake and Benton Lake, reflecting the area's modern character as a protected natural corridor within Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
