About this map

Lake Saint Helen serves as the focal point for this northern Michigan landscape, where the settlements of St. Helen and Artesia Beach have developed along its southern and eastern shores. The area's geography is defined by prominent points like Birch Point and Norway Point reaching into the water, while the eastern section features the Kirtlands Warbler W M A, a protected habitat highlighting the region's specific ecological character.

Inland, the terrain transitions into a dense network of smaller lakes and creeks, including Ninemile Lake, Indian Lake, and the winding Cameron Creek. For researchers, the map identifies three distinct burial sites — Fairview Cem, Indian Cem, and Maple Valley Cem — which suggest the early community clusters and cultural history of Roscommon County. Modern infrastructure like the St Helen Airport and a grid of residential streets near Superior Ave and Main St contrast with the largely wooded southern tracts near West Twin Lake and Maple Valley.
