2023 Map of Hardwood Island

About this map

The East Branch Fox River meanders through a dense network of wetlands and small lakes in this modern-day representation of the Luce County and Schoolcraft County line. The landscape is defined by vast water systems like The Spreads and the northern shores of Manistique Lake. While the terrain is dominated by water and marsh, the historical footprint of the timber and transport era remains visible through small named settlements and crossings. To the north, the Tahquamenon River brushes the corner of the sheet near Laketon. Cultural history is anchored by the West Lakefield Cem and small clusters of habitation at Danaher and Carpenter Landing. This survey details the complex hydrography of the Upper Peninsula, showing how local roads like Seney Rd and Old Seney Rd navigate the low-lying reaches between the river systems.
