2014 Map of Omer SW

About this map

The Rifle River winds through the heart of this landscape in Arenac County, defining a region characterized by small rural settlements and an extensive drainage network. Along the northern reaches, Knights Mill and the Clayton Cem anchor the community, while the open spaces of Tyler Plains and Omer Plains suggest the agricultural and timber-clearing history of the area. The map reveals a dense system of creeks, including Townline Cr and its branches, which feed into the primary river systems. Genealogists will find particular value in the several documented burial grounds, most notably the Saint Joseph's Polish National Cem in the southwest and Evergreen Cem to the east. The road network, including Highbanks Dr and Deep River RD, follows the natural contours of the river valleys and township lines established by the Public Land Survey System.
