2011 Map of Creighton

About this map

Creighton and the nearby settlement of Pines occupy a landscape defined by an extensive network of waterways in the Upper Peninsula. The West Branch Manistique River winds across the central terrain, serving as the primary drainage for numerous tributaries including Commencement Creek, Pine Creek, and Hickey Creek. This area illustrates the specialized road networks of Michigan's timber and recreational lands, where routes like Hartman Camp Rd and the Hickey Creek Truck Trl provide access to remote locations such as Hartman Camp. The map details the junction of the Creighton River and Marsh Creek in the northeast, highlighting a complex riparian system. The presence of named truck trails and camps alongside established routes like County Hwy 454 suggests a region historically tied to forest management and seasonal habitation within Schoolcraft County.
