2023 Map of Alfred

About this map

The settlement of Alfred stands as the primary namesake community within this Dickinson County landscape, situated where the North Branch Ford River and the main Ford River converge. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and logging-era road network, featuring numerous wetlands and water bodies like Peronto Lake and Marsh Lake. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Hardwood Impoundment along the East Branch Sturgeon River, a significant hydrological feature that influences the local drainage patterns. Transportation is facilitated by a grid of named routes such as Co Rd 426 and the Norway Lake Truck Trl, which provide access to the interior. The map also traces various tributaries including Bear Creek, Stafford Creek, and East Branch Skunk Creek, providing a detailed view of the watershed as it appeared in the early 21st century.
