About this map

Huron National Forest dominates this section of Northern Michigan, where the headwaters and tributaries of the South Branch Au Sable River carve through the woodland. The small settlement of Eldorado sits at the junction of Meridian Rd and State Hwy 18, serving as a central point for the surrounding rural area. Further north, Smith Bridge provides a crossing over the Au Sable, a river known for its cold-water ecology and recreational importance.

Researchers will find several small burial grounds including Rock Cem, Ball Cem, and Richfield Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for families from the Crawford and Roscommon County line. The landscape is dotted with several named bodies of water, such as Hunters Lake, West Lake, and Kellogg Lake, often accessed by fire roads and forest trails like Tee Pee Trl and Black Bear Trl. The map illustrates the grid-like township divisions and the network of forest roads that define this part of the state.
