About this map

Millecoquins Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Upper Millecoquins River feeds into the lake before continuing south as the Lower Millecoquins River. The settlement of Millecoquins sits near the lake's southern shore, connected by a network of local roads and trails including Hiawatha Trail Rd and Lake Blvd. To the north, the terrain is defined by a complex hydrology of small creeks and ponds, such as McAlpine Pond and Millecoquins Pond.

Evidence of local history and community life is found at the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem located off M-117, a primary north-south artery. The map details numerous family-named landmarks and rural routes, from Krause Rd to Wentland Rd, reflecting a landscape of dispersed homesteads and timber access. Points of interest like Chases Point on the lake and various named drainages like Skunk Cr and Furlong Cr provide specific reference points for genealogists and local historians.
