About this map

Skandia and its surrounding Upper Peninsula landscape are defined by the winding paths of the Chocolay River and Sand River as they drain toward the southern shore of Lake Superior. This digital-age survey captures the rural infrastructure of Marquette County, centered on the intersection of m28 and the local road network connecting Yalmar and New Dalton. The map provides specific locations for local landmarks such as the Skandia Post Office and Skandia Station, alongside several small interior water bodies like Lake Kawbawgam and Lake LeVasseur.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise placement of the Haglund Cemetery and the United Methodist Church Cemetery near the southern boundary. To the north, the transition from wooded wetlands to the Great Lakes shoreline is marked by the Gitche Gumee Campground and RV Park and the expansive James D Jeske Flooding area, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on its water resources and recreational spaces.
