About this map

The Au Sable River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a valley that separates the Huron National Forest from the small northern settlements of Fairview and Kneeland. This region of Oscoda County is characterized by a mix of forestry, aviation, and rural habitation, anchored by the Oscoda County Dennis Kauffman Memorial Airport near Mio. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial depressions containing water bodies like Horseshoe Lake, Perry Lake, and Sherwood Pond, which drain into a network of small creeks such as Joslin Cr and Comins Cr.

Genealogists can identify localized history through the positioning of Fairview Cem, Weaver Cem, and Mio Cem. For recreational historians, the map documents a robust trail network including the Wolf Creek - Fireweed Hike and the long-distance MI Shore to Shore Horse&Hike trail. The presence of Comins Flats along the river highlights the importance of the Au Sable corridor to the area's development.
