About this map

Beaver Lake serves as a central landmark in this portion of Alpena County, surrounded by a network of local roads that define the recreational and residential character of the shoreline. To the northwest, the map captures a segment of Fletcher Pond, featuring access points like Fishing Site Rd and Emils Landing Rd. These labels suggest a landscape shaped by water-based activity and seasonal settlement near the headwaters of regional streams.

Moving east toward M-65, the terrain transitions to a grid of rural routes and agricultural parcels. Genealogists and local historians will note the Spratt Cem located near the intersection of Spratt Rd and Cousineau Rd. The hydrography is dominated by the winding paths of Rayburn Cr, Butterfield Cr, and Beaver Cr, which drain the surrounding highlands and illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the Michigan interior.
