About this map

The settlement of Lovells sits along the North Branch Au Sable River in northern Michigan, a landscape defined by its network of cold-water creeks and recreational trails. In this northern reach of the Lower Peninsula, the terrain is marked by significant conservation and military footprints, including the Kirtlands Warbler W M A and portions of NG Mtc-h Camp Grayling. Local history is anchored by the Lovells Cem and the residential clustering near the banks of the river.

Water features are prominent throughout the area, from Shupac Lake and Chub Lake in the south to Crapo Lake near the northern boundary. The drainage patterns of the West Branch Big Creek and Middle Branch Big Creek illustrate the low-lying, stream-fed character of the Otsego and Crawford County line. A dense network of forest routes, including the Shore To Shore Trl and Snow Mobil Snow Trail 4, highlights the region's modern role as a hub for outdoor transition and habitat protection.
