About this map

The South Branch Au Sable River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, defining the northern edge of Roscommon as it appeared in the early 21st century. The town center is marked by key civic landmarks including the Roscommon Post Office and the Higgins Township Cemetery. Just south of the village, the Roscommon Conservation Airport occupies a central position, while the terrain to the east is punctuated by notable geological features like Sinkhole Hill and Bambi Lake.

A complex hydrology dominates the central and southern reaches, where the Robinson Creek Flooding creates a significant wetland area fed by Robinson Creek. Local elevations rise at Sixmile Hill, Murray Hill, and Ninemile Hill, the latter of which provides a waypoint for travelers at the Nine Mile Hill Rest Area. These high points overlook a network of seasonal and permanent waters, including Russell Lake and Hudson Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this forested Michigan region.
