About this map

Hiawatha National Forest blankets this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the Soo Line railroad cuts a straight path across the central landscape. The rail-dependent history of the area is marked by the small settlement of Cordell and the loading point at Dick (Spur 459), highlighting the mid-century industrial presence in this timber-rich region. To the south, the terrain rises toward Maple Hill, which features a Lookout Tower and Radio Tower overlooking the surrounding wetlands and drainage basins of East Lake.

Hydrological features dominate the northern half, where the Pine River and Biscuit Creek meander through dense forest. Local resource extraction is evident at the Scott Quarry and various gravel pits. Notable local landmarks like The Big Spring and Trout Brook Pond suggest a landscape defined by significant groundwater activity, while the network of primitive roads, such as Hayward School Road, provides a trace of rural infrastructure during the 1960s.
