2011 Map of Hiawatha

About this map

Hiawatha and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, situated north of the expansive Indian Lake. The map reveals a complex aquatic network, from the winding Smith Creek to the braided sections of The Spreads along the Indian River. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of Byers Cemetery and Hiawatha Cemetery, providing exact locations for family researchers. The transition from industrial or railway use to modern recreation is evident in the Haywire Grade Orv Trl, which cuts diagonally across the terrain towards Hiawatha Sta. Further south, the Indian Lake Golf Course and a grid of residential roads like Dawson RD and Whitman RD indicate the more developed lakeside community, while northern clusters of water bodies like Bootjack Lake and Island Lake remain tucked into the woods.
