2023 Map of Sands

About this map

Harvey and the surrounding township of Sands are situated within a landscape shaped by significant glacial features and water systems in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The terrain is defined by the Kona Hills and Ragged Hills to the northwest, with the Migisy Bluff overlooking the northeastern drainage towards Carp River Lake. This 2023 edition shows a modern network of local roads and recreational paths, including the Blueberry Ridge Pathway Trl, which winds through the central forested sections near Strawberry Lake. Settlement patterns follow the corridor of roads like Co RD 480, linking older locations such as Gentian and Cascade with newer residential development near the lakes. The intricate hydrography includes numerous small bodies of water like Uncle Tom Lake, Powell Lake, and Peterson Creek, illustrating the well-watered character of this Marquette County landscape. This survey provides a precise account of the modern interface between outdoor recreation areas and residential expansion.
