About this map

Deadmans Hill provides a dramatic vantage point over the glacial valley of the Jordan River in Charlevoix County. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by significant conservation and water management efforts, anchored by the Jordan River National Fish Hatchery in the southern valley. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous tributaries, including Warner Creek, Eaton Creek, and Section Thirteen Creek, which feed the river system as it winds through the interior.

Upland areas are marked by the presence of the Jordan Lookout Tower and a network of rural roads such as Tebo School Rd and Deadmans Hill Rd that hint at the area's educational and local history. Family and community heritage is preserved at Maple Hill Cemetery and Brown Cemetery, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle capture the headwaters of the South Branch Boyne River and Moyer Creek. The map effectively illustrates the intersection of Michigan's natural hydrology and the infrastructure designed to monitor and maintain it.
