About this map

Chatham and the surrounding township of Limestone are defined by a network of rural roads and timbered lands within the Hiawatha National Forest. Small settlements such as Eben Junction, Traunik, and Slapneck are connected by routes like Munising Ave and M 94, reflecting a landscape built on forestry and dispersed agriculture. The map illustrates a complex drainage system featuring Slapneck Cr, Johnson Cr, and Bohemian Cr, which cut through the level to gently undulating terrain of the Upper Peninsula.

Local history and recreation are prominent through features like the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Coalwood Trail, which trace former corridors through the woods. Genealogists can identify the Limestone Township Cem and Pine Grove Cem as key points of local heritage. The presence of numerous family-named roads, such as Torma Rd and Luoma Rd, suggests the deep Finnish-American roots common to this part of Alger County.
