About this map

The Manistee River winds across the northern landscape of this Kalkaska County region, flanked by the CCC Bridge State Forest Campground and the small aviation hub at King Trout Airport. The terrain to the east is defined by a series of named elevations, including Smith Hill, Ester Hill, and Beecher Hill, which rise above the surrounding wetlands and forests. This 2011 survey captures the area’s rural character, centered on the small settlement of Fletcher, where a network of local roads like Moorestown Rd SE and Fletcher Rd intersect.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with Black Creek and Clear Creek feeding into the main river channel, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the waters of Grass Lake and the drainage of Big Cannon Creek. The map details a largely undeveloped landscape of forest and stream, offering a precise view of the local topography and the grid of backroads that link these remote Northern Michigan locations.
