2019 Map of Juniper

About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small watercourses. The drainage patterns of the Little Indian River and the various branches of Stutts Creek, including the North Branch and Middle Branch, illustrate the hydrological complexity of this forest environment. Small settlements and points of interest such as Evelyn, Doty, and Juniper are linked by a system of recreational trails utilizing old transportation corridors. These include the Haywire Grade ATV and the Wetmore-Munising Snomo, reflecting the transition from industrial timber extraction to a landscape primarily managed for conservation and outdoor recreation. The map also captures the Alger and Schoolcraft County line as it cuts through dense marshland near Scotts Marsh and Stump Lake.
