2014 Map of Schaffer

About this map

Perronville and Schaffer anchor this portion of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Ford River and Bark River. The settlement pattern follows a clear northwest-to-southeast diagonal, traced by F Rd and the former rail corridor that links Perronville down to Tesch. This corridor represents the historical backbone of local transport, connecting the small communities and rural outposts that once relied on these routes for movement. Local history and genealogy are preserved at sites like Saint Michael's Catholic Cem and the Schaffer Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for the families of the area. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries including Tenmile Creek, Twentyfour Mile Cr, and Fortyseven Mile Cr, illustrating the dense hydrological network of Delta and Menominee counties.
