2023 Map of Chatham

About this map

Eben Junction and Chatham anchor the upper portion of this survey, where the northern Michigan landscape is defined by the headwaters of Slapneck Creek and its various branches. The settlement patterns reflect the agrarian and timber heritage of Alger County, with family-named roads like Nykanen Rd, Luoma Rd, and Finn's Spur Rd branching off from M 94. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Hiawatha National Forest, encompassing the smaller communities of Limestone and Traunik. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Limestone Township Cem and Pine Grove Cem, as well as the intricate network of local drainage such as Bohemian Creek and Johnson Creek that shaped the early layout of these rural townships.
