About this map

The city of Gaylord serves as the focal point of this Otsego County survey, situated at the high point of the northern Lower Peninsula. The landscape is defined by its glacial origins, visible in the numerous kettle lakes and springs that dot the terrain, including Olund Lake, McCoy Lake, and the cluster known as Five Lakes. The headwaters of the Sturgeon River flow through the eastern portion of the map, while the western edge reaches the boundary with Charlevoix County.

Infrastructure and recreation are prominent, from the Gaylord Regional Airport south of the city to the Pine Baron Pathway winding through the southwestern forests. Local history is anchored by several sites of rest, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery. A network of streets with European names like Baden Strasse and Altorf Strasse reflects the town’s Alpine-inspired development and cultural identity.
