2014 Map of Garnet

About this map

Garnet sits as the central point of interest in this Garfield Township region of Mackinac County, serving as a hub for local roads like Park Rd and Hiawatha Trail Rd. This portion of the Upper Peninsula is defined by its complex hydrology, where the East Br Sage River and Black River drain a landscape dominated by wetlands and glacial lakes. Local history is anchored at the Maplewood Cem, located just east of the settlement near Garnet Lake. The map reveals a network of logging and transport routes, including the McLead Truck Trl and Giddings Truck Trl, which navigate between prominent water features such as Big Dollar Lake and the expanse of Kings Marsh. These roads and trails reflect the persistent use of the forest and wetland resources that have long shaped the local economy and settlement patterns.
