1989 Map of Schaffer

About this map

The boundary between Menominee Co and Delta Co cuts through this landscape of the Upper Peninsula, where the Ford River and Bark River wind through heavy wetlands and forested tracts. Small settlements like Perronville and Schaffer are linked by a transportation network that includes an Old Railroad Grade and local landmarks such as the Townhall and a small Landing Strip. Local genealogy and community life center around sites like St Michaels Cem and the Schaffer Cem, documenting the persistence of these rural outposts. The map reveals a region defined by its watercourses, including Tenmile Creek and West Branch Twentyfour Mile Creek, which dictate the drainage and development patterns across the townships of Cornell, Escanaba, and Bark River.
