About this map

The Rifle River cuts a winding path through this corner of Arenac County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial watercourses and rural land divisions. This region is home to several quiet rural settlements and agricultural plateaus, including Omer Plains and Tyler Plains, which are situated between the river and its numerous tributaries such as Saverine Cr and Chub Cr. The map reveals a high density of sites significant to local genealogists and family historians, with numerous cemeteries distributed across the townships.

Religious and community heritage is evident at Saint Joseph's Polish National Cem near the southern boundary, while other long-established burial grounds like Clayton Cem and Evergreen Cem anchor the surrounding countryside. At the northern edge, the label for Knights Mill indicates the area's historical reliance on water-powered industry. The transition from the northern woodlands, drained by Big Cr, to the southern plains illustrates the varied geography of Deep River Township and its neighbors.
