About this map

The Kirtlands Warbler Wildlife Management Area dominates the northern reaches of this Crawford County landscape, highlighting a dedicated habitat for one of Michigan’s rarest songbirds. To the south, the village of Roscommon sits at the edge of the Huron National Forest, where the terrain transitions into a dense network of forest roads and trails. The South Branch Au Sable River and Beaver Creek wind through the region, forming the hydrologic backbone of a landscape defined by timber and conservation.

Local history is preserved at the Pioneer Cem and along established routes like Pere Cheney Rd, which recalls the lumbering era. The eastern portion of the map is marked by the secluded Deerheart Valley and the winding courses of Thayer Creek and Hickey Creek. This modern survey details the contemporary intersection of protected wilderness, river recreation, and the residential growth extending from the county line.
