2011 Map of Witch Lake

About this map

Witch Lake and the small settlement of Witbeck serve as the primary landmarks in this water-rich corridor of the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by secondary roads such as County Hwy Lighthouse and the Yukon Trl. Public recreation is centered around the Squaw Lake State Forest Campground and the Horseshoe Lake State Forest Campground, indicating the area's modern role as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The abundance of named water bodies, including Chief Lake, Penglase Lake, and Fence Lake, suggests a region where geography is more often defined by shoreline than by town centers, reflecting the sparsely populated character of the north woods in the early twenty-first century.
