2019 Map of Sands

About this map

Sands serves as a central point in this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the northern forests meet an intricate network of glacial lakes and small settlements. The area shows a transition from the elevated Kona Hills and Ragged Hills in the northwest toward the more level plains surrounding the East Branch Escanaba River. Local mobility is defined by a dense grid of county roads, such as Co RD 480, and the extensive Blueberry Ridge Pathway that winds through the central terrain.
