2023 Map of Roscommon South

About this map

Roscommon serves as a focal point for this region, situated near the headwaters of the South Branch Au Sable River. The map illustrates a landscape defined by significant glacial features and wetlands, including Sinkhole Hill and Murray Hill, which rise above the extensive marshes of Robinson Creek Flooding and Long Crossway Swamp. Local administration and community services are anchored by the Roscommon County Courthouse and Higgins Township Cem, while transportation infrastructure is marked by the Roscommon Conservation Airport and an established network of regional roads like Old 76 and Co RD 106. The terrain is characterized by a high water table, evident in the numerous swamps and named drainages like Hudson Creek and Russell Creek that crisscross the sandy plains and low ridges of northern Michigan.
