Foster City and the neighboring settlements of Hardwood and Hylas anchor this Upper Peninsula landscape along the M-69 corridor. The geography is defined by a dense network of water, including the E Br Sturgeon River and the larger Sturgeon River to the south, alongside the Hardwood Impoundment and S Br Ford River. Local history and genealogy are centered on landmarks like the Foster City Cem and family-named roads such as Swan Peterson Rd, Harry Peterson Rd, and Kime Backlund Rd. The distribution of these roads, including Boarding House Rd, reflects a legacy of timber and small-scale settlement near numerous waterways like Schultz Cr and Anderson Cr.
