2014 Map of Pickford NW

About this map

Hiawatha National Forest anchors the southern portion of this northern Michigan landscape, where the Munuscong River winds through the wetlands and plains of Marquette Township. The map captures a transition between the wilder timberlands of the national forest and the grid-iron agricultural and rural residential patterns to the north. Historical markers such as Cottle Cem sit near the border of Chippewa and Mackinac counties, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. Transport corridors are central to the area's development, featuring the Mackinac Trail Spur and the expansive Chippewa County International Airport at the northern edge. Drainage across this low-lying region is defined by Sanderson Cr and Parker Cr, which flow toward the St. Marys River system just beyond these borders.
