2019 Map of Walsh

About this map

Creighton Marsh dominates this landscape in the Upper Peninsula, defining a region where water and land are inextricably linked. The small settlement of Walsh sits along the northern edge of the wetlands, positioned where M 28 and the historic Walsh Grade corridor traverse the terrain. The map reveals an intricate network of moving water, from the winding Driggs River in the east to the Creighton River in the southwest corner. Local drainage is further marked by the flows of Walsh Cr, Ducey Cr, and Marsh Cr. The presence of Spur Ditch suggests historical efforts to manage the hydrology of this marsh-heavy environment. This map captures the mid-century infrastructure of Schoolcraft County, including Ecklund Rd and Co Hwy 448, which provide access to the remote backcountry between these river systems.
