About this map

Hiawatha National Forest encompasses this section of the Upper Peninsula, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. The Sturgeon River serves as the primary drainage through the center of the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Black Cr and Eighteenmile Cr. This area is notable for its concentration of named water bodies, including Waco Lake, Billy Good Lake, and the uniquely named Polack Lake.

A system of forest roads and sections defined by the Public Land Survey System provides access through the dense timberland and marshy reaches. Genealogists and local historians can use this survey to locate specific land tracts, such as those near Gleason Lake or Narbon Lake, within the townships of T42N and T43N. The mapping of small features like Kenobo Lake and Plumbob Lake illustrates the intricate hydrography of Delta County's interior.
