2019 Map of Dafter

About this map

Dafter serves as the central hub of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where agricultural grids intersect with the sprawling wetlands of the eastern Michigan interior. The 2019 survey documents a transition from the structured township blocks to the south, characterized by the residential layout near Chippewa County International Airport, to the more saturated terrain of the north. Significant local landmarks like the Dafter Township Cem and the leisure area at Dukes Lake Beach are clearly defined. The region's complex hydrology is a defining feature, with the headwaters and branches of several systems including the Charlotte River, the S Br Munuscong River, and the Little Munuscong River winding through the low-lying eastern sections. Notable water bodies such as Riordan Lake and Dukes Lake provide points of reference within the dense network of county roads and seasonal tracks.
