About this map

Hulbert serves as a central point of settlement in this northern Michigan landscape, positioned along the vital corridor of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad. The village is surrounded by the expansive reaches of the Mackinac State Forest and the Hulbert State Forest, where a complex network of waterways including the Hendrie River and Tahquamenon River define the terrain.

The presence of The Antlers Cabins near Hulbert Lake suggests an era of burgeoning recreational use in the Upper Peninsula, even as the region maintained its timber-heavy character. Researchers will find the Hulbert Cem positioned north of the town center, while the county boundary between Luce Co and Chippewa Co cuts through the western portion of the map. The intricate drainage patterns of the South Branch Hendrie River illustrate the low-lying, marshy nature of the land before it meets the larger river systems to the east.
