About this map

The North Branch Flint River winds through the northern portion of this Lapeer County landscape, anchoring the village of North Branch. The town serves as a local hub, featuring the North Branch Post Office and Westlawn Cemetery at its western edge. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dotted with small lakes and marshy lowlands, most notably around the settlement of Five Lakes where Bear Lake, Duperow Lake, and Five Lakes Cemetery are located.

Agricultural patterns are clearly defined by a rigorous grid of section roads, including Burnside Rd and Jefferson Rd. Significant local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Greenwood Cemetery and Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery. The presence of the Washakie Golf and RV Resort and Birch Valley Camp near Clear Lake highlights the area's role in local recreation amidst the headwaters of Bottom Creek and Cedar Creek.
