2017 Map of Driggs Lake SE

About this map

The Driggs River and its complex network of managed wetlands define this section of Schoolcraft County. A high-resolution look at the hydrologic engineering of the region, the map shows an extensive system of water control features including the Unit Number One Diversion Ditch, Unit Number Two Diversion Ditch, and Sweeney Ditch. These channels feed a series of designated basins such as A-Two Pool, C-Two Pool, and Sweeney Pool within the Driggs Marsh. For those interested in the recreational and transit history of the Upper Peninsula, the Fox River Pathway winds through the northeast corner, while M-28 provides the primary east-west corridor across this marshy landscape. The presence of smaller tributaries like Sand Creek and the man-made Twomile Ditch illustrates the long-term efforts to manage the water levels of these vast peatlands.
