About this map

The resort and timber landscape of Mueller Township centers on Blaney Park, showing the community's unique development during the early 1970s. The area is characterized by a mix of recreational and industrial use, featuring the Blaney Park Airport and a local Golf Course alongside several gravel pits and the Calspar Quarry. Local religious and social life is anchored by Maple Grove Ch and the Divine Infant of Prague Ch, which sit along the main north-south road corridor.

Transportation through this portion of Schoolcraft County is defined by the Soo Line railroad, which passes through Blaney Junction in the south. The natural environment is dominated by the Manistique River State Forest to the west, while numerous water bodies like Lake Anne Louise and Pelkys Lake drain through Pelky Creek. The presence of small settlements like Parkington and scattered landmarks like the Roadside Park reflect the region's sparse but steady settlement pattern in the Upper Peninsula.
