2019 Map of Prudenville

About this map

Houghton Lake dominates this Michigan landscape, where the settlement of Prudenville sits at its southeastern curve. The terrain transitions from the water's edge to the rise of Emery Hill, showing a dense network of local roads and subdivisions such as Songers Point. Significant infrastructure includes the Roscommon County Blodgett Memorial Airport situated north of the main settlement area. Natural drainage patterns are well-defined by Backus Creek, Knappen Cr, and the small Lake Co-Be-Ac. For local historians, the Prudenville Cem serves as a key genealogical landmark. The map documents the residential development pattern near East Bay, contrasting the concentrated streets of the village with the wetlands and stream systems like Spring Brook that feed into the larger lake basin.
