About this map

The Munuscong River and its various tributaries define this section of the eastern Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is marked by low-lying wetlands and a grid of rural roads. The settlement of Pickford sits at the junction of M 129 and W Town Line Rd, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural and forest land. Further northeast, the small communities of Stirlingville and Kelden are situated along the riverbanks, illustrating early settlement patterns that followed the local waterways.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Old Kelden Cem, Bethel Cem, Gray Cem, and Fairview Cem, which anchor the history of local families to specific townships. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Little Munuscong River and Demoreux Cr, winding through terrain where the Chippewa Co and Mackinac Co line is established. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and the road network, such as Riverside Dr and E 22 Mile Rd, that have organized this rural area into the 21st century.
