2023 Map of Marsh Creek Pool NW

About this map

West Branch Manistique River and the Creighton River wind through this heavily saturated landscape of the Upper Peninsula, defining a region where water and timber access dictate the layout of human activity. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal routes and forest roads, including the Creighton Th Trl and Highwater Truck Trl, which navigate the wetlands and lowlands of Schoolcraft County. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the convergence of Stutts Creek, Hiawatha Creek, and Hay Meadow Creek creates a dense riparian system, while Tucker Lake sits as one of the few named bodies of standing water in the eastern section. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the state forest lands, where established truck trails like Hickey Truck Trl provide the primary access to the interior wilderness.
