About this map

The Thunder Bay River winds through the northern reaches of this Alpena County landscape, anchoring a rural network of small agricultural settlements and hamlets. The village of Long Rapids sits near the river's bend, while to the south, the community of Lachine serves as a central hub where the Hillman-Alpena State Trail traverses the township. This trail follows a former railroad corridor, a common transformation in northern Michigan that reflects the shift from industrial rail transport to recreational land use.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Green Cem and Herron Saint Rose's Cem near Herron. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises like Orchard Hill and Manning hill, overlooking a series of creek systems such as Bean Cr, Morrison Cr, and King Cr. These watercourses and the surrounding wetlands define the property boundaries and road placements, such as Taylor Hawks Rd and Carney Rd, which navigate the township's varied topography.
