About this map

The Rifle River winds south through the heart of Arenac County, defining the recreational and residential landscape of this region. This 2011 survey illustrates the spatial relationship between the small incorporated city of Omer and the village of Twining, both established as centers of commerce along the local road network. The river's influence is clear, supporting multiple leisure sites such as Big Bend Family Campground and Russell's Canoes and Campgrounds, while crossing points like Huckle Bridge provide essential local connections.

Local history is anchored by the Saint Edwards Catholic Cemetery and the Arenac Township Cemetery near the settlement of Arenac. Drainage infrastructure, crucial for the area's geography, is meticulously documented through named channels like Bum Drain, Mosquito Drain, and Chief Creek Drain. These man-made features alongside natural waterways like Saverine Creek and Chub Creek reveal the long-standing efforts to manage the water-rich terrain for development and agriculture.
