2019 Map of Rudyard

About this map

The settlement of Rudyard serves as the focal point for this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, situated at the junction of Trout Lake Rd and W Main St. The surrounding countryside is defined by its watercourses and early-century infrastructure, including the northern stretches of the Hiawatha National Forest and the Pine River Canoe Route (Water), which follows the winding course of the Pine River. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as Saint Rudyard Cem and South Rudyard Cem, while the county line between Chippewa Co and Mackinac Co bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a transition from the agricultural grid of the north to the protected woodlands and riparian environments of the south, where Hiawatha Run and the Munuscong River drain toward the Great Lakes basin.
