About this map

The Sturgeon River flows northward through this portion of Northern Michigan, defining a landscape of dense water networks and forest tracks. The settlement of Green Timbers lies at the heart of the region, where the Green Timbers Trail meets the river. To the north, the small community of Trowbridge sits near the N Central State Trail, a route that mirrors the historic rail corridors of Cheboygan County. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial features, including Storey Lake, Pickerel Lake, and Mud Lake.

Transport and land use patterns are evident in the transition from the structured grid of the northern sections to the winding trails of the Green Timbers area. Roadways like Cornwell Grade RD and Old Vanderbilt Rd reflect the timber and transit history of the region. The map also captures the confluence of several tributaries, such as Blackjack Cr and Stewart Cr, as they feed into the Sturgeon River system.
