2017 Map of Damon

About this map

Damon and the northwestern outskirts of Rose City anchor this Ogemaw County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of forest trails and managed wildlife habitats. Much of the western half is dedicated to the Kirtlands Warbler Wildlife Management Area, a specialized conservation tract adjacent to the Huron National Forest. The terrain transitions from the wetland environments of Tamarack Swamp and Wallin Lake in the southwest toward the elevation of Wagon Wheel Hill in the center. Genealogists will find several small burial sites, including Damon Cem, Tucker Cem, and Rose Cem, situated along the section lines and secondary routes like N Fairview Rd and Co Rd 22. Numerous small tributaries such as Houghton Creek, Brooks Cr, and Prior Cr drain the glacial topography, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula.
