About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and low-lying wetlands. The small settlements of Dick and Cordell represent the limited human footprint in this densely forested region, positioned near the intersection of several primary drainage systems. The northern half of the map is shaped by the winding Pine River and its numerous tributaries, such as Blind Biscuit Creek and Hemlock Creek, which flow through a mosaic of marshland.

Outdoor recreation and conservation efforts are evident in the presence of the North Country National Scenic Trl and the Trout Lake - Rudyard Snowmo Trl. To the south, the topography rises toward Maple Hill before descending into the basin containing East Lake and Guard Lake. This area serves as the headwaters for the North Branch Carp River, illustrating the vital hydrological role this portion of Chippewa and Mackinac Counties plays in the regional ecosystem.
