About this map

The East Branch Tahquamenon River winds through this Upper Peninsula landscape, a region defined by its complex waterway network and isolated camps. Settlement patterns here are tied to the woods and water, evidenced by named sites such as Buckhorn Lodge and Alder Camp. The northern section is marked by Mackinaw Lake and the intersection of local routes like Cadillac Soo Rd and Whitehouse Rd.

Transport and navigation are primary themes, with Youngs Airport situated in the southern half near W Maple Ridge Rd. The convergence of the Tahquamenon River and the Hendrie River in the southwest corner illustrates the drainage system that supports this timber-rich area. Local industry and historic land use are reflected in the presence of Cadillac Soo Camp 14, providing a clear record of the specialized settlements that once populated these forests.
