2019 Map of Alfred

About this map

The settlement of Alfred sits near the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Ford River and its various tributaries carve through the Upper Peninsula terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies and marshlands, including Marsh Lake, Hintz Lake, and Peronto Lake. To the south, the Hardwood Impoundment and the W Br Sturgeon River indicate a complex hydrological system used for water management. A web of local transport routes and logging trails, such as Norway Lake Truck Trl and Camp Nine Rd, crisscross the townships, providing access to the remote timberlands and seasonal camps. This 2019 survey documents the modern state of these rural roads and natural drainages like Stafford Cr and Bear Cr, which have long supported the region's wilderness character and recreational value.
