2023 Map of Eckerman

About this map

Eckerman and Seewhy anchor this portion of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, situated within the sprawling bounds of the Hiawatha National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated in the north by the East Branch Tahquamenon Wild and Scenic River and its numerous tributaries like Creek Number Fourteen and Riley Creek. To the south, the drainage shifts toward the Hendrie River and Naugle Creek. This territory is characterized by extensive wetlands and isolated water bodies, including Hulbert Lake and the smaller Little Mud Lake. Modern transit through the forest is marked by a network of specialized paths such as the Raco-hulbert Sorva Route Trl and the Trout Lake-Hulbert Snowmo Trl, which follow the corridors of an earlier era's logging and rail routes.
