About this map

The Sturgeon River and its numerous tributaries, including Schultz Creek and Pocans Creek, define the drainage and topography of this Upper Peninsula landscape. Near the settlement of Foster City, the presence of a Cem and the Old Railroad Grade indicates a legacy of early transport and local community development during the mid-to-late 20th century. The industrial character of the region is grounded by several instances of Rock Quarry sites and a Gage Station located along the river.

Much of the western portion of the area is protected as part of the Copper Country State Forest. Small settlements like Hardwood and Hylas are connected by roads that parallel the river valley, while the presence of a Pipeline and Transmission Line suggests the area's role as a corridor for regional utility infrastructure. Natural features like East Lake and Spruce Lake provide recreational or ecological points of interest within the forest boundaries.
