About this map

The West Branch Escanaba River meanders across this Upper Peninsula landscape, carving a drainage system defined by Big Brook, Chandler Brook, and Gleason Creek. This remote section of the Michigan wilderness sits along the boundary between Dickinson and Marquette counties, characterized by extensive wetlands and isolated water bodies like Landon Lake and Bobs Lake.

Evidence of historical logging and seasonal land use is etched into the terrain via an intricate network of forest roads and trails. The presence of the Ross Grade and Ross Grade Rd suggests a landscape once shaped by timber transport, while modern recreation is represented by the Motorcycle Trl and Perrin Brothers Trl. This survey captures a contemporary view of the region's hydrography, from Miller Creek in the north to Chynes Creek in the southeast.
