2011 Map of Paynesville

About this map

The Middle Branch Ontonagon River and East Branch Ontonagon River define this portion of Interior Township, where a network of forest roads and small creeks crisscross the Michigan landscape. The settlement of Paynesville serves as a primary point of reference, accompanied by North Paynesville and the Paynesville Cemetery to the south. This area is characterized by its dense water system, including the winding paths of Trout Creek, Longtime Creek, and Slough Creek. Local infrastructure is marked by named thoroughfares like Keeler Hill Rd and Gardner Rd, which provide access to the surrounding timberlands and small water bodies such as Jack Pine Lake. The map reveals a post-industrial rural pattern where legacy road names like Blacksmith Rd hint at former local trades amidst a landscape now dominated by natural drainage and forest service access.
