About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this Schoolcraft County landscape, where the northern wetlands and glacial lakes of the Upper Peninsula define the terrain. The settlement of Hiawatha and the nearby Hiawatha Township Cem sit at a traditional crossroads, while the Haywire State Trl and Hiawatha Station reflect the area's rail-to-trail transition and historical transport corridor.

Water is the central feature of the district, ranging from the large expanse of Indian Lake and Langes Bay at the southern edge to a dense cluster of interior waters including Island Lake, Kepler Lake, and Plains Lake. The Indian Wild and Scenic River and its associated lowlands, such as The Spreads and Smith Slough, illustrate a complex hydrologic network of creeks and marshes that have shaped local recreation and movement for generations.
