About this map

Skandia and its surrounding Upper Peninsula township are the focus of this 2014 survey, where the rugged woods of the Hiawatha National Forest meet the shoreline of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the winding Chocolay River and the expansive James D Jeske Flooding. Small communities such as Yalmar, Gordon, and New Dalton are scattered along the major transport corridors of Us-41 and M-28, reflecting a pattern of settlement tied to the region's timber and transit history.

Genealogists will find significant local data in the location of the United Methodist Church Cem and the Haglund Cem. For outdoorsmen and historians, the map traces the N Country National Scenic Trail as it traverses the north, passing near Lake Kawbawgam and Lake LeVasseur. The map meticulously details the drainage of the E Br LeVasseur Cr and Sand River, illustrating the wild character of Marquette County.
