About this map

The settlement of Hale and the surrounding woodlands of the Huron National Forest dominate this landscape in the northern Lower Peninsula. This area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and recreational networks, including the MI Shore to Shore Horsehike and several Huron ORV paths. The village of Hale serves as a central hub, with local landmarks like Hale Cem and the waters of Hale Lake providing a focal point for researchers interested in the town's footprint.

To the northeast, the Au Sable River flows into the Loud Dam Pond, a significant hydraulic feature on the map's edge. This region, including the curiously named The Jackpines, shows a mix of residential development around Loon Lake and Long Lake, contrasted with the expansive public forest lands. Local genealogy is supported by sites such as Thompson Cem near Rollways Rd, while the intricate system of logging and recreation trails offers insight into the modern forest economy.
