2019 Map of Marsh Creek Pool NW

About this map

The West Branch Manistique River winds through this heavily forested and wetland-rich portion of Schoolcraft County, defining the drainage patterns of the Central Upper Peninsula. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape primarily managed for timber and conservation, where an extensive network of logging and access routes like the Highwater Truck Trl and Hickey Truck Trl provide the only passage through the dense terrain. These trails trace the higher ground between numerous watercourses, including Stutts Creek and Hiawatha Cr. In the southeastern corner, Tucker Lake and its surrounding marshland mark a significant hydrological focal point. The presence of Co Rd 448 and South Side Rd indicates the sparse but vital infrastructure connecting these timberlands to the larger regional road network, while smaller features like Grindstone Cr and Hay Meadow Cr offer specific landmarks for those tracing the historical hydrography of the Manistique watershed.
