About this map

The city of Gaylord serves as the central hub of this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a concentration of civic and community infrastructure. The map details the layout of the Otsego County Fairgrounds and the University Center at Gaylord near the city's heart, while the Otsego County Airport sits to the southwest. Several local burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Bagley Cemetery, and Fairview Cemetery, provide important markers for genealogical research within the city limits and its immediate outskirts.

Water features define the outlying terrain, particularly to the east where the Sturgeon River meanders through the glacial landscape. To the west, a distinct cluster of small lakes known as Five Lakes—including Lake One, Lake Two, and Lake Three—illustrates the region's dense kettle lake geography. The presence of the Vanderbilt Rest Area along the major north-south corridor indicates the area's role as a transit point for travelers moving through the Lower Peninsula's interior.
