2019 Map of Gaylord

About this map

The northern Michigan landscape around Gaylord is defined by its glacial lakes and the headwaters of the Sturgeon River. This 2019 survey captures the city's role as a regional hub, featuring the Gaylord Regional Airport and the centrally located Otsego County Building. The topography is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Five Lakes, Berry Lake, and Otung Lake, which illustrate the area's characteristic post-glacial hydrology. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, such as Fairview Cem, Bagley Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. The development pattern follows a grid of township roads like W Winters Rd and Parmater Rd, showing how the modern streetscape in this portion of the Lower Peninsula has matured around its historical lakeside settlements and natural drainage ways.
