2019 Map of Beaver Lake

About this map

Beaver Lake and the expansive Fletcher Pond dominate this portion of Alpena County, illustrating a landscape defined by significant water management and glacial hydrology. The pond, along with creek systems like Butterfield Cr and Rayburn Cr, reflects the interior wetland character of Ossineke Township. Local history and genealogy researchers will find Spratt Cem located along Spratt Rd, a primary east-west artery connecting the rural homesteads of the area. The road network, including family-named routes such as Meinzinger Rd, Cousineau Rd, and Clewley Rd, reveals a modern settlement pattern built upon older agricultural and timbering divisions. The survey also documents recreational access points like Beaver Lake Park Rd and Emils Landing Rd, highlighting the transition from traditional land use to contemporary residential and seasonal lakeside living.
