2014 Map of Pere Cheney

About this map

Pere Cheney sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the historic route of the E Railroad Trl. The area is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which flows through the southern half of the township toward the northern edge of Higgins Lake. This map captures a transition in the local geography, where the glacial terrain of Hogarth Hill and Sinke Hill meets the low-lying wetlands surrounding Mud Lake. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant interest in the Cheney Cem, a lonely landmark near the village site. The map further documents the modern residential footprint of Skyline Village and the rural layout of Juvigny Valley, providing a clear look at how transportation corridors and water systems have shaped settlement in this part of Crawford County.
