About this map

The Au Sable River winds through the southern portion of this Alcona County landscape, anchoring the settlement of McKinley. This river corridor is central to the area's geography, surrounded by the McKinley Trail Camp and the McKinley Cem. The terrain to the north is defined by a dense concentration of small water bodies, including Shamrock Lake, Island Lake, and Shear Lake. This network of lakes and creeks, such as Blockhouse Cr and Glennie Cr, suggests a region deeply shaped by its hydrology and remote forest character.

Transport and recreation are evident in the presence of Camp Barakel near the northern lakes and a grid of rural roads like Oakes Rd and Kings Hwy. The map also traces the Hardy Grade and Old Hardy Grade, hinting at the area's historical logging or rail infrastructure. The southern boundary is further marked by the Con Energy Powerline Rd, indicating modern utility corridors crossing the traditional river valley.
