2023 Map of Jewett Creek

About this map

Fletcher Pond dominates the southern reaches of this Alpena County landscape, where the waters of the Upper South Branch Thunder Bay River collect before flowing north. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and tributaries, including the extensive Long Swamp and the winding course of Jewett Creek. A significant corridor for transit and recreation is formed by the Hillman-Alpena State Trl, which cuts a straight path across the central section of the township. In the northeastern portion, several small bodies of water like Coombs Lake are surrounded by a grid of rural routes including Salina Rd and Doyle School Rd, reflecting the persistent agricultural and residential structure of this northern Michigan region. The map also delineates protected areas such as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan land, highlighting the balance between private holdings and state-managed resources.
