About this map

Gladwin sits at the northeastern edge of this central Michigan landscape, where the confluence of several river branches dictates the terrain's layout. The North Branch Tobacco River and Middle Branch Tobacco River meander through the southern half of the quadrangle, feeding into Ross Lake and creating a complex system of drains and tributaries like Burleson Drain and Davidson Cr. The area is characterized by numerous small water bodies, including the geometrically named Big Lake Twenty and Little Lake Twenty, which suggest early platting or section-based identification. Local history is anchored by sites such as Grout Cem and the preserved path of an old Railroad Grade near the southeastern corner. The map also documents the border between Clare and Gladwin Counties, providing a detailed look at rural road networks such as E Mannsiding Rd and Kerswill Rd that connect these dispersed lakeside settlements.
