2011 Map of Ensign

About this map

The settlement of Ensign is the central point for this Delta County survey, situated amidst a landscape defined by an extensive hydrological network. The Ogontz River system dominates the drainage here, with the North Branch Ogontz River, West Branch Ogontz River, and East Branch Ogontz River all converging south of the township's primary roads. Local history is anchored by the Johnston Cemetery and Ogontz Cemetery, both located near Johnston Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is characterized by numerous water bodies, including Peterson Lake, Ramsey Lake, and Lost Lakes, which sit among a grid of forest service roads like Forest Rd 2803 and Forest Rd 2231. The mapping of these minor tributaries and rural burial grounds provides valuable detail for those researching the land use and genealogy of the Ensign area.
