2023 Map of Paulding

About this map

Paulding and surrounding small settlements like Robbins and Craigsmere sit within the heavily forested landscape of the Ottawa National Forest in Ontonagon County. The map details a complex hydrographic network defined by the Ontonagon Wild and Scenic River and its various tributaries, including Baltimore River and Roselawn Creek. Small local landmarks provide genealogical value, such as Maple Grove Cem and Barclay Cem, located near the southeastern corner of the map. The distribution of small lakes like Kennedy Lake, Erickson Lake, and Johnson Lake illustrates a typical glacial landscape, where development is largely restricted to thin corridors along roads like Choate Rd and Bond Falls Rd. Numerous forest service trails, such as Nfst-5444 Trl, penetrate the interior, reflecting the area's modern use for timber management and outdoor recreation.
