About this map

The Ford River snakes through this portion of Delta County, defining the local geography as it winds toward the Green Bay coastline. Near the river's bend, the small community of Riverland sits along the primary north-south corridor, while the settlement of Flat Rock lies further inland to the east. This area of the Upper Peninsula is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Bichler Creek, Portage Creek, and Reno Creek, which suggest a landscape historically shaped by timber and water-dependent industries.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Flat Rock Cemetery centrally located near the eponymous settlement, a key landmark for tracing family roots in this rural township. In the northern reaches, the map identifies Chandler, illustrating the dispersed nature of habitation in this region. The layout of local roads and the orientation of Tenmile Creek reflect a community structure built around the natural waterways and the resource-rich forests of the Michigan interior.
