1985 Map of Walkup Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Big South Branch Pere Marquette River carves through the central portion of this mid-1980s terrain, defining a landscape dominated by the protected acreage of the Manistee National Forest. This region of Newaygo County is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, ranging from the prominent Walkup Lake and Nichols Lake in the northeast to the smaller clusters of Triple Lakes and Lake of the Woods. Civil development is concentrated at Walgamor Corners, while the remainder of the map reveals a network of forest roads and creeks like Bear Creek and Heald Creek. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the western boundary indicates the local extractive industry that supported the maintenance of this remote road system. For those interested in the hydrology of Michigan's lower peninsula, the map provides a clear picture of the drainage patterns feeding into the Pere Marquette watershed via Winnepesaug Creek and Beaver Creek.
