About this map

The Sturgeon River flows through the heart of this Upper Peninsula landscape, carving a path through the extensive wetlands and woodlands of the Hiawatha National Forest. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of industrial transport and natural preservation in Delta County, where the southern settlement of Nahma Junction serves as a gateway to the dense timberlands. The terrain is characterized by a low-lying hydrological network, featuring the sprawling Moss Lake and smaller bodies like Little Moss Lake and Bourgois Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of the Saint Jacques Cem near the small community of Saint Jacques and the Isabella Cem to the east particularly useful for tracing family roots in this corner of Michigan. Distinctive landmarks such as the Fourteenmile Bridge and Tenmile Rapids on the river highlight the historical importance of waterway crossings in a region otherwise dominated by swamps and springs like Germaine Spring.
