2014 Map of Beechwood
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The Ottawa National Forest dominates the terrain of this Iron County landscape, where the South Branch Paint River and its tributaries like Cooks Run and McRae Cr carve through the woodland. Settled activity is concentrated in the southern portion along the path of US Hwy 2, which connects the small communities of Beechwood and Basswood. This area preserves a legacy of timber and early development, evidenced by the network of forestry roads such as Federal Forest 3270 Rd and Bart King Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find the Rosehill Cem near the eastern edge of the survey, a landmark for the families that settled near Branch Line Lake. The interior is defined by a series of kettle lakes, including Silver Lake, Timber Lake, and Homan Lake, highlighting the post-glacial topography of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
