About this map

McFarland and Lathrop serve as the primary focal points in this portion of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. The topography is dominated by the upper reaches of the Rapid River, which flows southward alongside the village of Lathrop. Cultural history is anchored by the Lathrop Cem and Hillview Cem, providing clear points of interest for genealogical research in Delta County.

A notable vestige of the region's industrial past is the Stack Grade, a linear feature in the northern sections that indicates former transport routes likely tied to timber or rail operations. Numerous small water bodies and creeks, including Boiling Spring, Werners Cr, and Deer Cr, crisscross the area. The boundary between Marquette Co and Delta Co runs through the lower third of the quadrangle, marking the transition between these two historic Michigan counties.
