About this map

Lake Saint Helen and the sprawling wetland networks of Roscommon County dominate this 2017 survey. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the South Branch Au Sable River and its various tributaries, including Hudson Cr and Asum Cr, which feed into extensive lowlands like the Hudson Creek Swamp. Settlement is concentrated in the south near Saint Helen, while smaller locales such as Keno and Geels sit further north.

A notable inclusion for recreation and education is the presence of Kirtland Community Coll and the Midland to Mackinaw Boy Scout Trail, which traverses the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment of modern land use where public spaces like Au Sable River Park intersect with a grid of rural routes and the visible path of the Olde RR, reflecting the area's transition from an early timber-and-rail economy to a contemporary hub for outdoor education and conservation.
