2019 Map of Carlshend

About this map

Carlshend and the surrounding timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest define this portion of Marquette County. The landscape is a network of small settlements like Dukes, Vick, and Maple Grove, connected by a grid of rural roads and the Little Lake-Chatham Snowmobile Trail. Water drainage is dominated by the upper reaches of several systems, including the W Br Chocolay River and W Br Whitefish River, which carve through the wooded terrain. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cem near the northern boundary, while smaller crossroads like Selma and Lawson reflect the dispersed agricultural and logging heritage of the Upper Peninsula. The map detail highlights the specific township divisions and the numerous small creeks, such as McMaster Creek and Huber Cr, that feed the region's larger rivers.
