About this map

The boundary between Marquette County and Dickinson County divides this upper Michigan landscape, where a network of forest roads and watercourses defines the Upper Peninsula interior. Significant water bodies like O'Neil Lake, Van Derlin Lake, and Mud Lake are connected by a web of small streams including Schwartz Cr and McGregor Cr. This terrain is further shaped by the W Br Escanaba River in the northeast and the branching headwaters of the N Br Ford River and W Br Ford River to the south. The road network, comprising routes like Lake Oneil Rd and Co Rd 581, facilitates access through these wetlands and woods. The inclusion of the W Branch Pathway indicates the area's use for recreational transit through the dense local hydrography.
