2023 Map of Schaffer

About this map

Perronville and Schaffer serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Ford River and Bark River. The map reveals a specialized transportation network following former railroad corridors, now designated as the Felch Grade Route Trl and the Escanaba To Hermansville State Trl. These routes pass through the smaller hamlets of Eustis and Tesch, providing a clear view of the region's transition from an industrial timber-and-rail economy to one focused on recreation and state-managed trails. Local genealogy is anchored by established sites like Saint Michael's Catholic Cem near the intersection of G 30 RD and Swede Road Number 47. Numerous smaller waterways, including Tenmile Creek and Twentyfour Mile Creek, lace through the wetlands and woodlots along the Menominee and Delta County line.
