About this map

The unincorporated community of Ossineke sits at the mouth of the Devils River, where the waters of the North Branch Devils River and S Br Devils River converge before emptying into Thunder Bay on Lake Huron. This coastal landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and historical cemeteries, including the Sanborn Township Cem near the town center, Saint Catherine's Cem to the southwest, and the German Cem situated further inland.

Northward along the coast, Squaw Bay and Sulphur Island mark the transition toward the Alpena area, while the southern reaches of the map are characterized by the Black River Swamp and Hardwood Point. The network of local roads like W Nicholson Hill Rd and New Holland Rd provides access to interior features like Devils Lake, highlighting a pattern of settlement tied to both the timber-rich lowlands and the Lake Huron shoreline.
