About this map

Hiawatha National Forest blankets this corner of the Upper Peninsula, where the border between Delta and Schoolcraft counties bisects a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and streams. The largest water bodies, Thunder Lake and Upper Thunder Lake, dominate the northwest quadrant, feeding into a complex drainage system that includes Bear Creek and Carr Creek. These waters eventually contribute to the Indian River, which meanders through the eastern portion of the survey area.

Richardsons Mill stands out as a notable human landmark in this otherwise dense woodland, situated near the southern reach of the Indian River. The presence of Iron Creek and numerous smaller basins like Frankes Lake and Cranberry Lake highlights the saturated nature of the terrain. The map also identifies local transit markers such as Gerometta Dr and the distinctive Big Spring near the southeastern corner, providing essential points of reference for those navigating this remote forest environment.
