2019 Map of Raco

About this map

Raco serves as the primary hub of this northern landscape within the Hiawatha National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a terrain dominated by complex water systems and seasonal transit corridors in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the W Br Waiska River and N Pine River, alongside smaller bodies such as Delirium Pond. The map reveals the modern recreational and transport character of the area through dedicated trails and routes. These include the Soo-Raco Sorva Route and the Raco - Rudyard Snomo (Snow) trail, which likely utilize former industrial or rail grades. The presence of the Cherry Stem Hike further emphasizes the forest's transition from a timber-heavy past to a center for public recreation and conservation management.
