2011 Map of Sand River

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Sand River and Laughing Whitefish River flow toward the coast. The settlement of Deerton serves as a central hub for the area, featuring the Deerton Post Office and the nearby Deerton Cemetery. The map provides a detailed look at the complex hydrography of the region, from the James D Jeske Flooding in the west to the Laughing Whitefish Falls in the south. A network of local routes like Peter White Rd and Sigan Rd connect these remote water bodies, including Howe Lake and Laughing Whitefish Lake. The drainage patterns, particularly the West Branch Laughing Whitefish River and North Branch Slapneck Creek, reveal a landscape shaped by glacial activity and contemporary conservation, evidenced by the named flooding areas and designated falls.
