About this map

Black River flows through the southern reaches of this landscape near the settlement of Manning, where local life is defined by the transition between wetlands and wooded elevations. To the east, Black Mountain rises as a prominent landmark overlooking Twin Lakes and the shoreline of Black Lake. This 2014 survey documents the distribution of vacation properties and year-round residences at Doriva Beach alongside specialized aviation infrastructure like Hoffman's Black Mountain Aerodrome.

The northern terrain is characterized by an extensive network of water bodies and marshes, including Lake Sixteen, Duck Lake, and Duck Marsh. Historic transportation routes such as Alpena State Rd cut across the township, connecting the small community hubs with the broader forest and river systems of Cheboygan County. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Greene Creek and the Black Mallard River, which have long shaped the land use and recreational development of this northern Michigan region.
