About this map

Glacial lakes and small rural settlements define this portion of Osceola County in the early twenty-first century. The village of Dighton sits central to a landscape marked by a high density of named water bodies, including Hicks Lake, Rose Lake, and Fewlass Lake. The winding course of the Middle Br River cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches are dotted with quiet intersections like Ina. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as Highland Cem and Maple Valley Cem, which remain as fixed points of interest for genealogists.

A grid of section roads, many following the Public Land Survey System lines, connects these water-focused recreation areas. From the larger Big Long Lake to smaller basins like Little Mud Lake and Bootjack Lake, the terrain illustrates the typical post-glacial hydrology of northern Michigan. The map captures the balance between seasonal lakeside residence and established agricultural road networks like 21 Mile RD and 15 Mile RD.
