About this map

The Hannahville Indian Community occupies a central role in this late-1980s landscape, positioned near the border of Menominee and Delta counties. This area illustrates a rural network of small settlements and educational hubs, most notably the Bark River-Harris School which bridges the communities of Harris and Bark River. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of waterways including the Ford River, the Bark River, and Pine Creek, interspersed with numerous wetlands and small lakes like First Lake and Second Lake.

Evidence of historical transit and industry is visible through the Old Railroad Grade running north toward the Ford River and the scattered Gravel Pits north of the main settlement. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the map are defined by the Escanaba River State Forest, where Trout Creek and Sevenmile Creek drain through protected woodlands. Local landmarks like the Bark River Ch and Hannahville Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
