2014 Map of Herman

About this map

The settlement of Herman stands at the center of this Baraga County landscape, where the Upper Peninsula’s rugged hydrology is defined by the Silver River and its various branches. This 2014 survey documents a network of local roads such as Lahti Rd and Taisto Rd that serve the scattered homesteads and timberlands of L'Anse Township. Significant water features including Upper Silver River Falls and the secluded Little Summit Lake characterize the terrain, while the Herman Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest in this rural community. The map illustrates a high concentration of small lakes and creek systems, like Tama Cr and Daults Cr, which drain the elevated ridges. These patterns of roads and waterways reflect the area's long-standing connection to the wilderness and local land management, evidenced by routes like Conservation Rd.
