2011 Map of Barbeau

About this map

The community of Donaldson and the rural lands of Bruce Township are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding path of the Little Munuscong River. This interior portion of the Eastern Upper Peninsula is characterized by small settlements like Barbeau and McCarron, where local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Barbeau Tower and several community burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of local heritage, pinpointing the Donaldson Presbyterian Cemetery, Donaldson Cemetery, and Barbeau Cemetery. These sites, along with the Oaklawn Chapel Gardens, reflect the established family roots in this corner of Chippewa County. The drainage of the landscape is dictated by small tributaries including Spring Creek and School Creek, which cut through the level terrain between the major north-south thoroughfares like S Meridian Rd and S Shunk Rd.
