1986 Map of Northland NE

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Escanaba River and its West Branch dominate this remote northern Michigan landscape, where the waters converge within the protected boundaries of the Escanaba River State Forest and Copper Country State Forest. This 1980s-era survey reveals a terrain defined by its drainage network, including Landon Lake and numerous tributary streams like Bryan Creek, Chandler Creek, and Miller Creek. The boundary between Marquette and Dickinson counties bisects the western half of the map, illustrating the jurisdictional lines that cut through these vast timberlands. While primarily a wilderness of state-managed forest, industrial activity is marked by a Gravel Pit and a network of unimproved roads and trails. These paths, alongside named water bodies like Gleason Creek and Chynes Creek, provide critical landmarks for those navigating the Upper Peninsula's interior.
