2011 Map of Woman Lake

About this map

Woman Lake dominates this northern landscape, its intricate shoreline and northern bays forming the center of a dense lacustrine network in Cass County. The map details the hydrology connecting these waters, including the Boy River and the regulated flow at Blackwater Lake Dam. To the west, a cluster of uniquely named bodies such as Child Lake, Man Lake, and Baby Lake suggest a long-standing local nomenclature for the interconnected basins. The presence of Horseshoe Island and various smaller points illustrates the complex glacial geography of the region. Road networks like County Hwy 11 and numerous township ways such as Woodrow Twp Hwy 6 provide access to the various lakefronts, showing a transition toward recreational and residential development along the shorelines of Black Water Lake and Mule Lake.
