About this map

Seney and Germfask serve as the primary hubs in this water-dominated landscape of the Upper Peninsula. The northern reaches are defined by the winding Fox River and its various offshoots, including the E Br Fox River and Twomile Ditch. Just south of the M-28 corridor, the terrain transitions into the sprawling complex of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. Here, a massive network of managed pools, from A Pool to M Pool, reveals the extensive hydrological engineering used to navigate and preserve these wetlands.

Legacy infrastructure is evident in the grid of Railroad St and the historic Boot Hill Cem, while the southern border is marked by the passage of the Manistique River. The presence of the Blue Mountains provides a rare elevation change in an otherwise flat marshland. This area remains a critical intersection of natural wilderness and early transit routes, visible in the Fox River Pathway and numerous ditches like Holland Ditch that speak to the region's complex drainage history.
