2011 Map of Saunders Creek

About this map

Black River and Saunders Creek carve through the north-central woods of Otsego County, defining a landscape marked more by its timber-hauling history than dense settlement. The presence of Johnson Crossing Grade and numerous tracks like Sawdust Pile Trl and Tin Shanty Rd point to the area's legacy of forestry and logging operations. Near the center, Lake Nineteen sits surrounded by a network of residential roads including Elmac Circle Dr and Birch Trl, representing a pocket of development amidst the broader expanse of the Pigeon River Country State Forest. To the north, the Pigeon River enters the frame, while the east is drained by Tubbs Creek. The road network, consisting largely of named trails such as Lost Cabin Trl and Bear Trl, illustrates the transition from primitive forest passages to modern rural routes like Sparr Rd.
