About this map

Felch sits at the northern edge of this Dickinson County landscape, where the local road network reflects the area's mining and timber history. Roads like Calumet Mine Rd and Norway Truck Trl traverse the undulating terrain, leading toward the Felch Cem and the small settlement of Spruce. The hydrology of the region is particularly complex, defined by the convergence of the W Br Sturgeon River and several smaller tributaries such as Finn-Town Cr and Quarry Cr.

Water power and natural falls are recorded at Upper Mill Pond Falls and Lower Mill Pond Falls, indicating historical industrial utility along the river system. To the south, the Sturgeon River continues through a landscape dotted with smaller bodies of water like Roosevelt Lake and Necktie Lake. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of how modern rural life is superimposed over an older industrial geography of mining roads and mill sites.
