About this map

Rust sits at the intersection of Co Rd 451 and Rust Rd, serving as a central point in this rural landscape of northern Michigan. This topographic survey captures the area’s complex hydrology, defined by the large expanse of Fletcher Pond on the eastern edge and the sprawling Turtle Lake to the southeast. The Upper Br Thunder Bay River and its various tributaries, including Weber Cr and Cole Cr, dictate the drainage patterns across the terrain.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Rust Cem and a network of roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Karwowski Rd, Caughlin Rd, and Balwin Rd. The map also details specialized access routes like Camp Domino Trl and a Logging Rd, reflecting the region's recreational and industrial land use in the late 2010s. The border between Montmorency Co and Alpena Co runs vertically through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, dividing the waters of the pond.
