2023 Map of Helena

About this map

Helena stands as the primary settlement focus in this Marquette County landscape, situated where the terrain meets the historical Stack Grade. The map reveals a mosaic of wetland and water systems, most notably the expansive Cyr Swamp and the headwaters of Sawmill Creek and Mud Creek. These water features define the drainage patterns of the Central Upper Peninsula, providing a detailed look at the hydrology that shaped early timber and transit routes.
