About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest dominates this landscape on the border of Alger and Schoolcraft counties. A network of recreational corridors defines contemporary movement through the timberlands, including the Haywire Grade Atv Trl and the Miners Castle Snowmo Trl. Small nodes of activity persist at Juniper, Evelyn, and Doty, while the northern reaches of the sheet are defined by the basin of Wetmore Lake.

Hydrology is the primary character of this Upper Peninsula interior, with the branching systems of the North Branch Stutts Creek and South Branch Stutts Creek threading through expansive wetlands like Scotts Marsh. The map also details more isolated features like Garvey Ponds and the headwaters of the Little Indian River, reflecting a terrain shaped by glacial drainage and managed forest conservation.
