About this map

The settlement of Strongs and nearby Strongs Corner anchor the northern section of this map, situated within the dense wetlands and woodlands of the Hiawatha National Forest. This region of the Upper Peninsula is defined by an intricate network of water and wilderness, where the Branch Tahquamenon Wild and Scenic River and the headwaters of the Pine River flow through vast marshes. Small glacial features like Whitmarsh Lake, Arbutus Lake, and the clustered Rice Lakes are interspersed with low-lying bogs.

Outdoor recreation and conservation define the modern character of the landscape, traced by the long-distance N Country National Scenic Trail and specialized transit routes like the Raco-Strongs Sorva Route. Local heritage is preserved at the Coburn Cem west of the main crossroads, while various named ponds and creeks such as Black Cr and Stump Lake indicate the area's importance for local fishing and natural resource management.
