About this map

Hetherton and its surrounding forest lands are documented here along the county line between Otsego and Montmorency counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Black River, including the East Branch Black River and Rattlesnake Creek, which wind through low-lying areas like the Green Swamp. The terrain rises toward local landmarks such as Rattlesnake Hills and Old Baldy Hill, reflecting the glacial topography of Northern Michigan.

For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Gingell Cem near Gingell Lake provides a specific point of interest for family research. The map also traces established recreation routes like the High Country Pathway Trl and Elkview Trl, alongside numerous forest roads such as Shingle Mill Rd and Co Rd 622, illustrating the area's transition from early timber harvesting to a modern landscape of conservation and recreation.
