2019 Map of Channing

About this map

Channing serves as a primary settlement in this Upper Peninsula landscape, situated near the intersection of the Ford River and the northern reaches of the Michigamme River. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water bodies, including Sawyer Lake, Silver Lake, and the smaller Coy Lake. These lakes are connected by a web of local roads such as Newberg Rd and Sawyer Lake Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its glacial hydrology and modern recreation. To the south, the Channing Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those tracing local families. The presence of smaller settlements like Floodwood and Golden suggests a history of clustered communities that grew around timber or early rail transport in this heavily wooded region of Dickinson and Iron Counties.
