About this map

Lake Winyah and the winding course of the Thunder Bay River dominate this landscape in Wilson Township during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a transition from the structured aviation grounds of the Alpena County Regional Airport to the rural expanses of Alpena County. Small settlements like Paxton and McHarg anchor the western reaches, while the complex hydrology of the region is evident in the many tributaries such as McLary Cr, Robinson Cr, and the Lower South Branch Thunder Bay River.

Cultural landmarks and local genealogy sites are represented by Wilson Cem and several namesake roads like Taylor Hawks Rd and McHarg Rd, which reflect the community's established history. The presence of Muskrat Farm Lake and Zim Lake suggests a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local land use. This survey provides a clear view of the area's modern infrastructure, including the Norway Ridge Trl, set against the timeless flow of the river system.
