2014 Map of Diffin

About this map

Diffin sits at the center of this 2014 survey, marking a quiet intersection of rural roads and timbered lands in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the West Branch Whitefish River flows toward Whitefish Falls, and multiple tributaries like Werners Creek and Sucker Cr carve through the forested terrain. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Hiawatha National For, a significant tract of managed forestland that shapes the region's character and economy. Local transit is dominated by Us-41 and a grid of township and county roads such as Whitefish Rd and Johnson Rd. The map also captures several tri-county boundaries, showing the convergence of Marquette, Alger, and Delta counties. The road network, including the specifically named Whitefish Grade Rd, suggests a history of timber extraction and seasonal access throughout this wooded expanse.
