About this map

The Lower South Branch Thunder Bay River snakes through this portion of Alpena County, carving a path through a landscape defined by its complex drainage network and rural road grid. Near the southern edge, the small settlement of Hubbard Lake sits adjacent to the Hubbard Lake Cem, serving as a focal point for local history and genealogy in the township. The terrain is marked by numerous named watercourses, including the eponymous Big Ravine Creek, Wolf Creek, and Butterfield Cr, which feed into the primary river system.

A dense network of section-line roads, such as Nicholson Hill Rd and Hubbard Lake Rd, organizes the area into traditional agricultural and timber plots. The presence of the Snowmobile Trl in the northern section highlights the area's modern recreational use, while the traditional township and range divisions of t30n r7e and t29n r8e provide the structural framework for land ownership and historical survey research.
