2019 Map of Witch Lake

About this map

The Michigan River flows along the western boundary of this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, marking the transition between Iron and Marquette counties. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, with the settlement of Witch Lake and the nearby Witbeck serving as the primary points of habitation. The local road network, including Witch Lake Rd and Chief Lake Rd, provides access to numerous lakes such as Chief Lake, Sundog Lake, and Fence Lake. The map reveals a heavily wooded environment interlaced with specialized routes like the Little Moose Trl and Haywire Lake Rd. This intricate network of small lakes and seasonal drainages, such as Caps Cr and Squaw Creek, illustrates a northern wilderness shaped by water and logging access. For genealogists and local historians, these named features and lake-access roads provide a clear view of property boundaries and recreational settlements in this part of Michigan.
