About this map

Metz and Hagensville anchor this Presque Isle County landscape, where the legacy of early 20th-century settlement is clearly visible through a dense concentration of local cemeteries and churches. The map highlights the spiritual and community history of the region, specifically marking the New German Lutheran Cem and Saint Dominic's Catholic Cem. These sites, along with the Old Saint Dominic's Catholic Cem and Old Evangelist Lutheran Cem, suggest a history of shifting parish locations or congregational growth over the decades.

Transportation is dominated by the North Eastern State Trl, which cuts a diagonal path across the township, following a former rail corridor through the lowlands of the Swan River. The rural character is further evidenced by family-named roads like Noffze Hwy and Reisner Hwy, and land interests such as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan. This 2023 survey provides a clear look at how the grid of local highways like W Metz Hwy continues to serve these small northern Michigan communities.
