2014 Map of Rudyard

About this map

Rudyard serves as the central hub of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where a grid of rural roads meets the winding courses of the North Pine River and Munuscong River. The settlement pattern is defined by long-established section lines, with many roads bearing local family or descriptive names such as S Hantz Rd and S Jarvie Rd. To the south, the terrain transitions into the protected acreage of the Hiawatha National Forest, marked by the boundary between Chippewa Co and Mackinac Co. Genealogists will find the locations of the S Rudyard Cem and Saint Rudyard Cem southwest of the main townsite, while natural features like Hill Lake and the Hiawatha-Run drainage provide clues to the local hydrology of the eastern U.P.
