2014 Map of Hillman NE

About this map

North Branch Thunder Bay River and its numerous tributaries, including Quinn Cr and Gaffney Cr, define the drainage patterns across this section of Northern Michigan. The landscape is characterized by the jurisdictional boundary between Presque Isle and Alpena Counties, cutting horizontally through a grid of rural routes and township lines. Local travel is facilitated by a network of named highways and roads such as Mud Lake Hwy, Cedar Hwy, and Hagensville Rd, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, specifically within t33n r5e and t32n r5e, showing how the land was partitioned for agricultural and timber use. Smaller landmarks like Reider School Rd hint at the historic locations of former community centers in this sparsely populated area.
