About this map

Millersburg sits at the intersection of local history and a vast network of northern Michigan wetlands and timberlands. This Presque Isle County community is oriented around the Ocqueoc River and the N Eastern State Trail, a long-distance thoroughfare that follows a former rail corridor through the heart of town. To the north, Riverside Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for local families.

The landscape is defined by an intricate hydrology, featuring the Rainy River and a collection of significant water bodies like Rainy Lake, Lake Nettie, and the twin Upper Barnhart Lake and Lower Barnhart Lake. The eastern edge of the survey includes the settlement of Big Cut, named for the railroad excavations required to navigate the topography. These features illustrate the area's transition from a resource-driven economy to one focused on the preservation of its diverse lake and river systems.
