2023 Map of Damon

About this map

Huron National Forest and the Kirtlands Warbler Wildlife Management Area dominate this section of Ogemaw County, where conservation efforts and timber management define the landscape. The small settlement of Damon sits at the intersection of N Fairview Rd and Rose City Trl, serving as a central point for the surrounding network of forest roads and trails. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Wagon Wheel Hill down to low-lying areas like Tamarack Swamp and the headwaters of Prior Creek. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Damon Cem, Tucker Cem, and Rose Cem, which are scattered throughout the township. Water features such as Prior Lake, Ambrose Lake, and Townline Lake provide focal points within the heavily wooded interior, while a complex grid of trails like Gilford Ranch Trl and Stoney Ridge Rd crisscross the managed forest lands.
