About this map

Witch Lake and the small settlement of Witbeck anchor this survey of the northern Michigan woods where the Iron Co Marquette Co line divides the landscape. The region is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, ranging from the expansive Fence Lake and Penglase Lake to the smaller, secluded Camp Fifteen Lake and Boys Lake. The Mitchigan River winds through the western reaches, while the eastern section is accessible via M-95, which connects the area's few established outposts.

Transportation throughout the interior relies on a web of specialized roads, including Haywire Lake Rd, Fence River Rd, and Horseshoe Lk Camp Rd, reflecting a landscape managed for timber and seasonal recreation. Notable drainage systems like Squaw Creek and various unnamed marshes fill the depressions between low ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology of the t45n r30w and t46n r30w townships. Local landmarks such as Island Lake and Sundog Lake highlight the area's value for those mapping family property or exploring the backcountry of the Upper Peninsula.
