About this map

Pickford stands as the primary settlement in this corner of the eastern Upper Peninsula, situated at the junction of Meridian Rd and W Town Line Rd. The surrounding landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Munuscong River system, including its eastern branch and the Little Munuscong River, which all trend toward the waters of Munuscong Lake. This area reflects a long-established agricultural and rural grid, with secondary settlements like Stirlingville and Kelden situated along the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find several local burial grounds documented, such as Bethel Cem west of Stirlingville and the Old Kelden Cem near the river. The southern portion of the sheet records the boundary between Chippewa Co and Mackinac Co, where smaller waterways like Sanderson Cr and Taylor Cr cut through the terrain. The road network, including numerous numbered mile roads, illustrates the systematic land division characteristic of Michigan's rural townships.
