2017 Map of McGinn Creek

About this map

Huron-National Forest lands cover the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Alpena and Alcona county line bisects a terrain defined by a dense network of cold-water streams. The rural character of the region is evident in the layout of private ranch lands and family-named routes such as Fruhey Ranch Rd and Leer Ranch Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the Flynn Valley Cem serves as a central landmark near the headwaters of Robbs Cr. The drainage pattern is complex, with McGinn Creek and Indian Cr carving through the northern sections, while Cranberry Lake sits tucked into the southwestern corner. This area demonstrates a persistent pattern of forest management and light rural settlement, where traditional logging roads and ranch access ways like Doctors Club Rd remain the primary corridors through the heavy timber and wetlands.
