2011 Map of Gladwin

About this map

Gladwin and Beaverton anchor this central Michigan landscape, connected by the winding course of the Cedar River. The geography is defined by a dense network of river systems and creeks, including Venison Creek and Dow Creek, which converge as they flow toward Ross Lake. Significant local infrastructure is evident at the Gladwin County Fairgrounds and the Charles C Zettel Memorial Airport, while the industrial legacy of the region is marked by the North Buckeye Oil Field to the east. The rural sections of the county are partitioned by a strict grid of roads such as Hockaday Rd and Hawkins Rd, interspersed with quiet landmarks like Arbutus Cemetery and Highland Cemetery. This map provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between these two primary settlements and the waterways that historically shaped their development.
