2011 Map of Hillman

About this map

The village of Hillman sits at the confluence of Brush Creek and the Thunder Bay River, serving as the central hub for this northeast Michigan landscape. In the early 21st century, the area’s layout reflects a mix of recreation and aviation, with the Hillman Airport and the Thunder Bay Golf Resort located near the village center. To the north, a cluster of glacial lakes including Avalon Lake, Ess Lake, and Long Lake are surrounded by a dense network of residential drives and campgrounds such as the South Bay Campground. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling wetlands and upper reaches of Fletcher Pond, a significant waterway shaped by the Thunder Bay River and its various tributaries like Sucker Creek and Miller Creek. Genealogists will find the Hillman Cemetery and Saint Augustine Cemetery clearly marked along the roads north of the village.
