2017 Map of Raco

About this map

Raco sits in the northern reaches of the Hiawatha National Forest, serving as the primary human settlement in a landscape dominated by complex hydrology and forest management. This 2017 survey details the intricate drainage patterns of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, where the W Br Waiska River and the main Waiska River transition into a vast network of creeks and wetlands. Key water features such as the Sylvester Impoundment and Delirium Pond highlight the managed and natural aquatic environments that define the township. To the south, the terrain is marked by the N Pine River and Pine River, with numerous tributaries like Sylvester Cr and Bons Cr cutting through the woodland. The road network is sparse, consisting mainly of local routes like S Goldade Rd and W Sawyer Rd, which provide access to this heavily forested region of Chippewa County.
