About this map

Meredith stands as a focal point near the convergence of Clare, Gladwin, and Roscommon counties, situated where the Middle Br Cedar River and North Br Cedar River originate. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by an extensive network of small, scattered water bodies including Hoister Lake, Rollway Lake, and the connected basins of Headquarters Lake and Little Headquarters Lake. The area's history is preserved at the Meredith Cem, which remains a vital landmark for genealogists researching families from this rural junction.

The topography is marked by glacial features, with numerous small lakes such as Atchel Lake, Spruce Lake, and Trout Lake tucked between wooded rises. Movement through the region is facilitated by routes like Meredith Grade and S Gladwin Rd, which navigate the headwaters of the Sugar River and the undulating terrain. The layout of these roads and the placement of remote lake clusters suggest a long-standing pattern of seasonal recreation and forestry in this portion of Sherman Township.
