2017 Map of Carlshend

About this map

Carlshend and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Whitefish and Chocolay river systems within the Hiawatha National Forest. This 2017 survey shows a region where small settlements like Selma, Dukes, and Lawson are linked by a network of rural roads such as Selma Rd and Dukes Rd. A central genealogical landmark is the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cem, located near the intersection of Co Rd Oga. The map illustrates the contemporary use of the land, highlighting the Little Lake-Chatham Snowmobile Trail cutting diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the area's transition from early pioneer farming and timbering toward a recreational and rural residential character. Waterways including McMaster Cr and Sucker Cr drain the numerous wetlands that characterize this portion of Marquette County.
