About this map

Omer Plains and Tyler Plains characterize this section of Arenac County, where the winding course of the Rifle River cuts through the center of the township. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by its river systems and small-scale settlements like Knights Mill. The industrial presence of the Deep River Gas and Oil Field stands out in the western portion of the map, suggesting the area's continued reliance on natural resource extraction.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of religious and community burial grounds across the rural landscape. From the Saint Joseph's Polish National Cemetery in the southwest to the Saint Edwards Catholic Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery in the east, these sites offer a clear record of the area's heritage. The map also traces various tributaries, including Saverine Creek and the North Branch Pine River, which historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads.
