About this map

Ogemaw Springs and the outskirts of West Branch anchor this portion of the northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and glacial features. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Preachers Hill and Pointers Hill, which overlook a series of catchments including Ogemaw Lake, Prior Lake, and the expansive Ogemaw Swamp.

Logistics and recreation are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the Midland to Mackinaw Boy Scout Trail following the county line. This 2019 survey documents the transition from the consolidated settlement at West Branch to the more dispersed rural landscape near Beaver Lake. Local history is preserved at the Ogemaw Springs Cem and Beaver Lake Cem, while water systems like Ogemaw Cr and Perrys Cr define the drainage patterns through various named swamps like Sidney Swamp and Harcourt Swamp.
