About this map

Beaver Lake serves as the central focal point for this Alpena County landscape, situated within a network of drainage ways and access roads. The northern reach of the map is defined by the expansive Fletcher Pond, while smaller watercourses like Rayburn Creek and Butterfield Creek carve through the surrounding timberland and clearings. For those interested in local family history, the Spratt Cem is situated near the intersection of Spratt Rd and Cousineau Rd, marking a significant point of interest for genealogical research in the township.

The layout of the region reflects a transition between recreational water bodies and rural homesteads, connected by thoroughfares such as Beaver Lake Rd and Macdonald Rd. Southern reaches of the quadrangle are primarily drained by Turtle Creek and Beaver Creek, showcasing the hydrological patterns of the Michigan interior. Small lakeside communities and access points like Emils Landing Rd suggest a landscape deeply tied to the seasonal and sporting use of its waters.
