2014 Map of Juniper

About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest dominates this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, where the forest floor is defined by a dense network of watercourses. The drainage of the North Branch Stutts Creek and its various tributaries, including the Middle Br Stutts Cr and South Br Stutts Cr, reveal the intricate hydrology south of the Lake Superior watershed. Small settlements like Juniper and Doty are situated along State Hwy 28, which serves as the primary east-west artery through this timber-rich region. To the north, the terrain near Evelyn and the Hanley Field Airport provides a point of aviation access amidst the wilderness. The map also captures the boundary between Alger and Schoolcraft counties, marking where local jurisdictions meet in the heart of the Michigan forest, surrounded by isolated water bodies like Stump Lake and the meandering Little Indian River.
