About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where protected river corridors and glacial lakes define the drainage patterns of Delta County. The Whitefish Wild and Scenic River and its East Branch carve through the western portion of the map, while the Sturgeon Wild and Scenic River skirts the eastern boundary. This hydrological network is punctuated by Haymeadow Falls on Haymeadow Creek, a significant local landmark within the timbered landscape.

Several small water bodies, including Bishop Lake, McDonald Lake, and Peacock Lake, are scattered across the interior forest. The map reflects a landscape managed for conservation and recreation, showing the intricate system of Forest Service roads that provide access to the wetlands and tributaries feeding into the larger river systems. The absence of major settlements highlights the area's character as a preserved wilderness area.
