2014 Map of Hale

About this map

Huron National Forest covers much of this landscape in Plainfield Township, where the Au Sable River and South Br River navigate through a terrain dominated by glacial lakes and wetlands. The community of Hale serves as a local hub, situated near Hale Lake and Hale Cr, with Hale Cem located to the east. Further north, the distinctively named settlement of The Jackpines reflects the local timber ecology, while Long Lake and Loon Lake define the central water systems. This 2014 survey documents a region where recreation and forestry are primary, visible in the network of forest roads like Ponderosa Rd and Shoreward Trl. Genealogists may find value in the location of Thompson Cem near Big Gle Rd, while historians can trace the water levels of Loud Dam Pond and numerous smaller bodies such as Welcome Lake and Alice Lake.
