About this map

Prescott sits at the junction of several county roads along the northern edge of the Arenac County line, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of small, spring-fed water bodies including Hardwood Lake, Johnson Lake, and Cranberry Lake, which are interconnected by a network of drainage ways like Johnson Cr and Whitney Cr. These wetlands and lakes shape the local road grid, forcing routes like Johnson Lake Rd and Cranberry Lake Rd to navigate between the basins.

Further south, the community of Maple Ridge anchors a more open agricultural area where the grid becomes more regular. For those researching local family history, the Richland Cem near the eastern boundary and several family-named landmarks like Siefert Rd and Melcher Rd provide specific geographical markers of long-standing settlement. The map also captures the distinct triple-county corner where Ogemaw, Iosco, and Arenac counties converge.
