About this map

Kelly Hills and Chin Whisker Hill rise above a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology in this 2012 study of Alcona County. The northern section is drained by the intricate headwaters of Wildcat Cr and Cold Cr, while the central area features a cluster of small lakes and seasonal ponds, including Bucks Pond and the aptly named Lake in the Green. These water bodies are connected by a fine network of forest trails and residential loops like Woodland Trl and Lakeside Trl.

To the south, the terrain flattens into the expansive Big Marsh near Reid Lake, where the W Br Pine River begins its course. This area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by wide drainage basins and a road network that transitions from paved arteries like Stout Rd to narrow forest tracks. The presence of the Circle T Ranch Airport in the western corridor highlights the specialized land use in this wooded Michigan interior.
