About this map

Creighton and Pines occupy a corridor of development along the northern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Soo Line railroad parallels a primary transit route through Schoolcraft County. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Creighton River, Pine Creek, and the West Branch Manistique River, which drain southward through the Hiawatha State Forest.

Land use is largely defined by conservation and resource management boundaries, as the Hiawatha National Forest meets the Seney National Wildlife Refuge in the southeast. Evidence of seasonal or specialized activity appears at Hartmans Camp, connected to the interior via a system of unimproved routes like the Truck Trail. This survey illustrates the 1980s intersection of industrial rail transport and public forest land in a remote section of Michigan.
