NCNST: Gun Lake Road to
M-179
Yankee Springs Recreation Area (north
section) & Barry State Game Area segment
Here is a map or aerial image (your
choice!) showing the track of the North Country
National Scenic Trail in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area between
Gun Lake Road and Bassett Lake Road, and in the Barry State
Game Area between Bassett Lake Road and the M-179 (Chief Noonday
Road) crossing in
Barry County.
This map covers roughly the north
half of the YSRA. See also our map covering the
south half
of the YSRA between Norris Road and Gun Lake Road.
In the map displayed here, the Trail
track is overlaid on a topographical map of the area. But, if you want, you can change
things to your liking:
-
You can change
the background to other backgrounds including a Google satellite image,
a USGS aerial image, an ArcGIS World topo, or a
Google street/road map by
making your selection from the right-hand drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the map image. Scroll the image to the
left (using
the bottom scroll bar) if necessary to activate the
background layer selection menu to the right of the map image.
-
You can tone down the background layer
to better visualize details on the ground by changing the percentage value
in the other drop-down menu right next to the background selector.
-
By using the map tool in the upper
left corner you can also zoom in or out, and you can click 'n drag
the image to change the center point. Zooming in, then click 'n dragging
the map in whichever direction you want, makes it easier to make sense of the
marked waypoints, which in places are a bit bunched together otherwise.
You can
download a printable PDF topo version of this map in two parts to take with you on the
Trail. Click for letter-size maps of
