About this map

Hubbard Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the southern anchor of this Alpena County landscape, where the Lower South Branch Thunder Bay River meanders through low-lying terrain. The map details a transition from these watercourses to a network of rural roads, many bearing family names that speak to the area's agricultural and timber history, such as Kowalski Rd, Heussner Rd, and Brilinski Rd. The interior is defined by numerous drainage systems including Wolf Creek, Big Ravine Creek, and Berlinski Creek, which together illustrate the complex hydrography of the Thunder Bay watershed.

Local heritage is anchored by the Hubbard Lake Cemetery near the southern shoreline, while recreational use is evident through the designated Snowmobile Trail and several two-track paths cutting through the more isolated sections of the township. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the rural section lines and township boundaries that have organized this part of northern Michigan for generations.
