About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this 1931 survey of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, revealing a landscape defined by complex waterway networks and glacial lakes. Centered on Thunder Lake and the Indian River, the map captures the region during a period of transition under the stewardship of the Michigan Department of Conservation. This advance sheet, compiled in part from early Air Corps aerial photographs, shows a vast expanse of wetlands and timberland before extensive modern road development. Notable landmarks such as Big Spring and Frankes Lake are situated amongst a mesh of smaller drainages like Big Murphy Creek and Kilpecker Creek. The boundary for Delta and Schoolcraft Counties cuts through the southwestern corner, providing a clear reference for researchers tracing land records and jurisdictional changes in this wooded territory.
