About this map

Seney National Wildlife Refuge and the Grand Sable State Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, where a sophisticated network of 20th-century water management features defines the wetlands. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive system of ditches and diversions, including the Holland Ditch, Twomlie Ditch, and Unit No 1 Diversion Ditch, which channel water through the marshlands and into various managed pools like C-3 Pool and Sweeney Pool.

Transportation through this wetland environment is limited to specific corridors such as the Soo Line railroad, which cuts a straight path across the northern section, and the Driggs River Road. The Driggs River itself meanders through the western half, past a campground and picnic area, illustrating the area's dual role as both a protected conservation zone and a recreational resource within Schoolcraft County.
