2014 Map of Reed City North

About this map

The Hersey River and its numerous tributaries, including Burt Cr and Jewitt Cr, carve through the glacial landscape along the border of Lake and Osceola Counties. In this 2014 edition, the settlement patterns of the northern Michigan interior are clearly defined, from the northern edge of Reed City to the small communities of Orono and Ashton. The map is particularly notable for its dense cluster of historic burial grounds, such as Pinora Cem, German Cem, and Wilson Cem, which speak to the area's late 19th and early 20th-century rural heritage. Transportation corridors are anchored by the north-south highway running through Orono and the local road network that connects sites like the Nartron Field Airport and the shores of Deer Lake. This survey provides a modern snapshot of a region where old family landmarks and rural churches, like Trinity Lutheran Cem, remain foundational to the landscape.
