2019 Map of Helps

About this map

Helps and Faunus stand as the primary reference points in this northern Michigan landscape where the headwaters of several drainage systems converge. The terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of the Upper Peninsula, featuring the W Br Ford River and the S Br Ford River, which meander through a series of wetland basins. The road network, including G 30 Rd and Stebbins Rd, follows the higher ground between these watercourses. This 2019 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of Dickinson County and its borders with Marquette Co and Menominee Co. Notable local landmarks like Stephenson Lake and the winding course of Skidmore Cr provide specific geographic orientation within the township system. The map reflects a landscape primarily utilized for its natural resources and timber, with widely spaced settlements connected by long secondary roads.
