About this map

The Kirtlands Warbler Wildlife Management Area dominates this section of Ogemaw County, signifying a landscape managed for conservation and habitat protection. This network of protected tracts is interspersed with a grid of rural roads and trails, including Odessa Rd, Oyster Rd, and the Cuttin Lake Trl. The area's hydrology is characterized by numerous small lakes and creek systems, with Clear Lake, Bear Lake, and Horseshoe Lake clustered in the southeastern quadrant.

Evidence of early local history is preserved at Fisk Cem, located off Turny Ranch Trl. The presence of several distinct water bodies such as Cutting and Damon Lakes and Elni Lake suggests a terrain shaped by glacial activity, where wetland and upland habitats support specialized species. Drainage is facilitated by waterways like East Creek, South Creek, and Marsh Creek, which thread through the management area's varying elevations.
