2019 Map of Whitney

About this map

Whitney stands as a focal point in this portion of Menominee County, situated where the G 30 RD corridor cuts diagonally through the Upper Peninsula landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Whitney Creek and the southern reaches of Tenmile Creek, which navigate the wetlands and timberlands characteristic of the region. Local nomenclature is deeply rooted in the rural road network, with family-named routes such as Bartoil Ln, Zwacki Lane D1, and Roshak Lane D1 providing evidence of the area's land ownership patterns. To the south, the landscape softens into the basins of Little Indian Lake and Indian Lake, while the Escanaba to Hermansville State Trail follows a former railroad grade, reflecting the evolution of transportation from industrial timber hauling to modern recreational use.
