About this map

Meredith stands at the southern edge of this Michigan survey, where the borders of Roscommon, Gladwin, and Clare counties converge. The landscape is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Houghton Lake State Forest and the Tittabawassee River State Forest, a terrain defined by glacial depressions that have formed a complex network of small lakes and marshes.

A notable mid-century cultural landmark, the Meredith Drive-in Theater, is located just west of the main settlement. Further north into the forest, a primitive network of jeep trails and footpaths connects isolated water bodies like Headquarters Lake and Rollway Lake. The presence of several gravel pits suggests the local extraction of glacial deposits, while the winding course of Denton Creek drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
