About this map

The Lathrop and McFarland communities anchor this northern Michigan landscape along the border of Marquette and Delta Counties. This 2019 survey documents a terrain dominated by wetlands and complex water systems, where the Rapid River and several tributaries like Deer Creek and Deadhorse Creek shape the local drainage. Cultural history is preserved at the Lathrop Cemetery and Hillview Cemetery, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracking families in the Upper Peninsula.

The presence of names like Stack Grade and various county roads indicates the enduring influence of the timber and transport networks that carved through this wilderness. Notable landmarks such as Boiling Spring and the meandering Werner Creek highlight the specific hydrography of the region. Local researchers can trace old property boundaries and transit routes like Hamilton Homestead Road, reflecting the rural development and land use patterns of the early 21st century.
