About this map

Walsh occupies a small clearing in the vast wetlands of the Upper Peninsula, situated along M 28 where the Walsh Grade road once carried heavy timber traffic. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving water and saturated lowlands, including the expansive Creighton Marsh and the wandering paths of the Driggs River and Creighton River.

Hydrological management of the region is evident through features like Spur Ditch and C-Three Pool, reflecting the complex drainage patterns required to navigate this portion of Schoolcraft County. Small tributaries such as Walsh Cr, Marsh Cr, and Ducey Cr thread through the township sections, creating a challenging environment for early infrastructure development. This survey highlights the intersection of state transport routes with the primitive logging roads that historically supported the area's timber industry.
