Ogemaw Springs serves as a historical focal point in this portion of Ogemaw County, situated north of the growing city of West Branch. The landscape is characterized by a series of glacial lakes, including Beaver Lake, Ogemaw Lake, and Heintz Lake, which are interconnected by drainages such as Ogemaw Cr and Smith Cr. The presence of Ogemaw Springs Cem and Beaver Lake Cem indicates long-standing local communities rooted in the area's geography. High points like Preachers Hill and Pointers Hill provide topographic variety, while a dense network of local routes like Sage Rd and Beaver Lake Trl connect the residential developments around the various lakes. The map illustrates the contemporary expansion of West Branch as it extends northwest toward the historic spring area.
