2023 Map of Cooks

About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest blankets much of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the settlements of Cooks, Elkhorn, and Springer mark the transition from timberland to small-scale agriculture and wetland. Family history and local burial sites are prominently noted, including the Cooks Cem, the Old Cooks Cem, and the Seventh Day Adventist Cem. The terrain is defined by a complex network of water, with Cornell Lake and Michaud Lake situated among the headwaters of the Little Fishdam River and Archambeau Creek. This survey reflects the modern intersection of industry and recreation, showing a grid of forestry roads like Garden Grade Rd alongside designated trails such as the Indian-Lake-Ski-Trl. The boundary between Schoolcraft and Delta counties crosses the southwestern quadrant, illustrating how political lines bisect the drainage of Hartman Creek and Spring Creek.
