About this map

The South Branch Au Sable River meanders through the northwest corner of this Michigan landscape, defining a terrain largely shaped by the sprawling Huron National Forest. The small settlement of Eldorado serves as a local focal point near the Crawford and Roscommon County line, connected by a network of forest roads and historic routes like Meridian Rd and Old 144 Rd. A dense system of equestrian and hiking paths, including the MI Shore to Shore Horse&Hike and the Midland-Mackinaw Trail System, underscores the region's character as a managed wilderness area.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Rock Cem, Ball Cem, and Richfield Cem situated along the southern boundary. The hydrography is notably rich with numerous small bodies of water such as Hunters Lake, Kellogg Lake, and West Lake, which are fed by creeks like Douglas Cr and Hickey Cr. This 2019 survey provides a precise look at the modern forest boundaries and the persistent locations of local landmarks like Smith Bridge.
