About this map

The W Br Escanaba River and its primary tributary, the West Branch Escanaba River, dominate this landscape at the border of Dickinson and Marquette counties. The drainage network is dense, fed by numerous named waterways including Chandler Brook, Big Brook, and Poplar Cr. This area is characterized by its heavy reliance on logging and transportation grades, evidenced by historical routes such as Kates Grade Rd and Ross Grade that cut through the township. These corridors, alongside local paths like Perrin Brothers Trl and Miller Creek Rd, reveal the long-standing importance of timber and land management in the Upper Peninsula. Central to the hydrography is Landon Lake, situated among a complex of smaller creeks like Bryan Cr and Gleason Cr that define the local topography.
