About this map

Butman serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Gladwin County, surrounded by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways. The Sugar River and the West Branch Tittabawassee River define the local drainage, feeding into numerous smaller basins like Lake Four and the Coan Millpond. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape where recreation and aviation have shaped the modern layout, notably around the Sugar Springs Airport and the residential street patterns of the surrounding development, which include Linksview Way and Wellington Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Butman Cemetery and Nolan Cemetery, while those tracing industrial history will find an old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern reaches near Dunham Lake. From the Twin Lakes Campground in the north to Grass Lake in the south, the map illustrates the transition from traditional rural agriculture to a water-focused residential and recreational community.
