2011 Map of Juniper

About this map

Juniper and the neighboring settlements of Doty and Evelyn sit within a landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The northern reaches are anchored by Wetmore Lake and the prominent Wetmore Lookout Tower, while the southern portion is crossed by the Little Indian River and multiple branches of Stutts Creek. The road network, including Co Rd 646 and Chamberlain Rd, reveals a pattern of dispersed rural residential development and forest management. This era of land use is further illustrated by the presence of Hanley Field and the Munising Sanitary Landfill. Researchers will find a detailed representation of the region's hydrography, from the isolated Garvey Ponds to the meandering Middle Branch Stutts Creek and Stump Lake, reflecting the natural drainage patterns that have shaped Alger County's development and transportation corridors over time.
