About this map

Blaney Park stands as the primary settlement in this section of Mueller Township, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage patterns of the Milakokia River and Bear Creek Swamp, reflecting the hydrologic character of Schoolcraft County. A notable industrial feature is the Calspar Quarry Pool, which suggests the local history of resource extraction in an area otherwise dominated by timber and conservation land.

Transportation routes here follow historical paths, with Old US Hwy 2 and the Blaney Jct Grade Rd providing the backbone for travel between small outposts like Parkington. The presence of Lake Anne Louise and Pelkus Lake in the north indicates the region's long-standing transition from industrial timberland to seasonal recreation. This survey captures the rural character of the Upper Peninsula just as modern infrastructure began to modernize these traditional logging and quarrying corridors.
