2017 Map of Big Beaver Creek

About this map

The East Branch Tahquamenon River winds through the lowlands of Chippewa County, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and seasonal waterways. This northern Michigan terrain is structured by a grid of rural roads such as W Maple Ridge Rd and N Hulbert Rd, which provide access to the remote interior sections of the Hiawatha National Forest region. Near the southern edge of the survey, Young's Airport serves as a lone aviation landmark amidst the dense network of creeks including Big Beaver Creek and the Hendrie River. The map also captures the boundary between Luce and Chippewa counties, where the Tahquamenon River system and Mackinaw Lake emphasize the importance of water drainage in this Upper Peninsula environment.
