About this map

The S Br Au Sable River winds through the northwestern corner of this Higgins Township landscape, anchoring the South Branch Au Sable River Area and providing a focal point for local recreation at the South Branch Campground. This modern 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrology and rural road network, where the river is joined by tributaries like Sauger Cr and Douglas Cr. Near the crossing at Smith Bridge, the terrain transitions into a more structured grid of forest and county roads.

Local history and genealogy are marked by several small burial grounds, including Rock Cem, Ball Cem, and Richfield Cem, which sit scattered among the secondary roads near the community of Eldorado. In the southwest, the Roscommon Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the wooded sections of the township, while a cluster of small water bodies such as West Lake and Hiscock Lake punctuate the eastern half of the quadrangle.
