1950 Map of Fletcher

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kalkaska State Forest and Houghton Lake State Forest dominate this mid-century landscape at the boundary of Kalkaska and Missaukee Counties. The Manistee River winds across the northern edge, fed by northern drainage systems like Black Creek and Clear Creek. The area’s character is defined by its transition between public timberlands and the Camp Grayling Military Reservation, where several named peaks like Grube Hills and Ester Hill overlook the training grounds. A small cluster of activity at Fletcher along Fletcher Road provides a focal point for researchers, featuring a labeled site of Ruins that hints at earlier settlement or industry. To the south, the terrain descends toward Grass Lake and the marshy basins of Cannon Creek, illustrating the complex glacial topography and water table that shaped northern Michigan's recreational and military land use during the post-war era.
