This map is the tale of two very different lakes. Houghton Lake, the largest lake by area in Michigan, is vast and relatively shallow—its deepest point a bit over 20’—and pleasantly warm water temperatures for swimming by midsummer. Higgins Lake reaches depths of over 130′ that keep its temps cool even through a hot summer. But they are both lakes that have hosted cottages for eons, and so there are a lot of tiny streets clustered around the lakes that we do a pretty good job of depicting (even the “Z” zones around Houghton Lake). The towns of Roscommon and Prudenville appear on this map. Together, these two lakes anchor a huge wetland ecosystem, and a careful reading of this map shows the complex creeks and drainage that connects them, and the swamp that keeps their waters pure—naturally.
