About this map

Ralph and the smaller settlement of Theodore define the human landscape of this Dickinson County region, where the Ford River and the E Br Sturgeon River flow through the Upper Peninsula. To the north, the small Ralph Cem serves the local community near the junction of CR-426 and Coottware RD. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Norway Lake, Gene Pond, and Pickerel Lake, which are interconnected by a network of rural roads like Norway Lake RD and Sheldon RD.

Evidence of the area's geological and industrial character is found in the south at Felch Mountain and the Coppo mining or industrial site. The map traces a complex web of seasonal and local roads such as White Post RD and Wickman Marsh RD, illustrating the accessibility of these timberlands and waterways. From the winding Skunk Cr to the elevations near Forstrom RD, the map details a landscape balancing sparse settlement with heavy natural resource and recreational value.
