2019 Map of Frederic

About this map

The Manistee River and Au Sable River converge conceptually in this northern Michigan landscape, where the headwaters of these major systems drain a territory defined by glacial terrain and historical timber activity. The settlement of Frederic serves as a primary anchor in the southeast, situated near May Lake and Camel Lake. Further north, the locations of Deward and Ishaward signify the area's development along the upper reaches of the Manistee. Local history is preserved at Oakwood Cem and Shrine Cem, while the rugged relief is punctuated by Toll Hill. An extensive network of logging roads and modern trails like N Blue Bear Trl and Deward Trl crisscross the terrain, reflecting the long-standing use of these forests for both industry and recreation.
