About this map

The Tahquamenon River headwaters and the marshy expanses surrounding the Fox River system define this northern Michigan landscape. This survey documents the lake-rich transition between the Great Lakes watersheds, where the East Branch Fox River snakes through the central plains before reaching Manistique Lake. Small lakeside developments and rural settlements like Cummings and Danaher are linked by a network of local roads such as Old Seney Rd and Danaher Rd.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the West Lakefield Cemetery positioned north of the lake, while landmarks like Carpenter Landing on North Manistique Lake illustrate the area's history of water-based access and recreation. The geography is characterized by distinct terrain features such as Hardwood Island and Foster Island, which rise above the surrounding wetlands and drainage creeks like Bev Creek and Deer Creek.
