About this map

North Eastern State Trl cuts a diagonal path through this rural Michigan landscape, marking a legacy corridor that connects the small communities of Cathro and Bolton. This modern survey highlights a region defined by its complex hydrology, where the North Branch Thunder Bay River and Thunder Bay River converge in the southwest, while numerous smaller streams like Clinton Creek and Mindack Creek drain into the expansive Long Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of Pilgrims Rest Cem near Metzke Rd, as well as the clustered settlements of Leroy and Orchard Point on the lake's western shore. The map illustrates a dense network of country roads, such as Krakow Hwy and Lacomb Rd, which define the section lines and property boundaries that have shaped Alpena County and Presque Isle County for generations.
