2019 Map of Fletcher

About this map

Fletcher sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a localized node of settlement amidst the glacial terrain and water systems of Northern Michigan. The northern boundary is defined by the Manistee River, which flows past the King Trout Airport and is fed by tributaries like Clear Cr. Further south, the map details the marshy surroundings of Grass Lake and the winding course of Big Cannon Cr. The topography is characterized by a series of distinct elevations in the northeast corner, including Waldo Hill, Richards Hill, and Smith Hill, which rise above the surrounding plains. The local road network, including the diagonal path of Military Rd and the straight sections of Fletcher Rd SE, illustrates the intersection of historical transit routes and the Public Land Survey System. This survey documents the boundary between Kalkaska Co and Missaukee Co, providing a clear look at the late 2010s parceling of this timbered and water-rich region.
