2017 Map of Metz

About this map

The community of Metz is the primary settlement in this part of Presque Isle County, sitting at a junction of roads and the N Eastern State Trail corridor. This region is notable for its high density of rural cemeteries and parish grounds, reflecting the deep immigrant and religious heritage of the area's early farmsteads. Significant sites include the Old Saint Dominic's Catholic Cem and the Saint John's Hagenville Lutheran Cem, often situated near historic town line boundaries. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid, intersected by natural watercourses like the Swan River and Quinn Cr. Transport routes follow a systematic hierarchy, from local paths like Budnick Rd to established thoroughfares such as W Metz Hwy and Hagensville Rd. These roads link the dispersed townships and their respective community centers, such as Metz Township Cem, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns in northeastern Michigan.
