About this map

The Tahquamenon River winds through this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by the expansive wetlands and timberlands of the Lake Superior State Forest and Tahquamenon River State Forest. The geography is defined by an intricate network of water, from the massive Betsy Lake in the north to numerous tributaries like the Little Two Hearted River, Middle Branch Creek, and Linton Creek.

Evidence of the region's industrial past and recreational value is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the township of McMillan and the presence of the Tahquamenon Falls State Park near the Upper Falls. Local landmarks such as The Big Spring and a Gaging Station on the river provide specific points of interest for those studying the hydrological and conservation history of Luce County in the late 1960s.
