About this map

The Manistique River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a complex path through the marshy terrain of Schoolcraft County. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Merwin Lake, McIntyre Lake, and the small Black Lake to the north. The presence of Woods Cem near Rice Rd provides a vital point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Doyle Township.

A network of utilitarian corridors such as the Highwater Truck Trl and Duck Creek Rd navigate the lowlands, suggesting a history tied to the timber industry or seasonal access. These routes connect isolated drainage systems like Little Duck Cr and Dougal Cr to more established thoroughfares like Co Road 432, illustrating how the modern road network has been overlaid upon the natural drainage basins of the Upper Peninsula.
