About this map

McFarland and the surrounding woodlands of Delta and Marquette counties are defined by a complex network of waterways and early township boundaries. The landscape is dominated by the winding course of the Rapid River and its numerous tributaries, including Deer Cr, Werners Cr, and Deadhorse Cr. Local history is anchored by the presence of Hillview Cem near the junction of CR-444 and Co Road Re, and the Lathrop Cem located just south of the Marquette County line.

The presence of Boiling Spring northeast of McFarland suggests the hydrologic variety of this Upper Peninsula region. Transportation through these timberlands relies on a grid of county roads and the primary north-south artery, M-35, which connects the small settlement areas. The map details the transition from the relatively flat basin of the Spring Cr system to the slightly more varied terrain of the surrounding townships.
