About this map

Diffin sits near the upper reaches of the West Branch Whitefish River in this modern topographical survey of the Upper Peninsula’s wooded interior. The landscape is defined by its watercourses and timber heritage, with drainage from Werners Cr and Deadhorse Cr carving through the terrain. A notable geographic landmark, Whitefish Falls, is situated just west of the junction of River RD and Whitefish RD, marking a distinct point of interest along the river's path.

The southern portion of the map transition into the protected lands of the Hiawatha National Forest, where a network of forest roads like Whitefish Grade Rd and N Rock 38th Rd provide access to the dense woodland. This area, spanning the intersection of Marquette, Alger, and Delta counties, preserves a quiet rural character where local history is etched into family-named routes such as Thornton RD and Johnson RD.
