2019 Map of Arnold

About this map

Arnold and Watson anchor this portion of Wells Township, where the dense wetlands of the central Upper Peninsula define the pattern of human settlement and transport. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage of the Little W Br Escanaba River to the north and the Ford River in the south, connected by a network of drainage systems including Lindsey Cr and Hunters Brook. The presence of the Forest Home Cem near the intersection of Co Rd 426 and Co Rd SZ provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this remote corner of Marquette County. Large stretches of the quadrangle remain dominated by marsh and brush, with the county highway system like Co Hwy 557 and numerous numbered roads such as Co Rd SA and Co Rd SU providing the primary access through the timber and wetland terrain.
