About this map

Rifle River drainage patterns define this portion of Ogemaw County, where the main stem and the West Branch Rifle River converge amidst a landscape of glacial lakes and wetlands. The small settlement of Selkirk serves as a central point, situated near the Churchill Township Cem and the confluence of Klacking Cr and Hiltz Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a mix of recreational and rural land use, with Camp Lu Lay Lea established on the eastern shore of Henderson Lake and the residential developments surrounding Lake Ogemaw to the south.

Extensive wetland systems like Dedrich Swamp and Dedrich Cr illustrate the hydrologic character of the region. Local history is etched into the road network, with family names appearing on routes such as Gerald Miller Rd, Bedtelyon Rd, and Sensabaugh Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the transition between open water bodies like Withey Lake and the smaller tributaries, including Ammond Cr and Prior Cr, that feed the larger river system.
