About this map

Rifle River flows through this 1965 survey of Ogemaw County, anchoring a landscape defined by state-protected lands and a high density of rural social centers. The presence of multiple Aboriginal Earthworks near the river and Selkirk indicates the long-standing significance of this corridor, which is further documented by a concentration of local institutions including Churchill Sch, Friends Ch, and the Holiness Campground.

The map reveals the mid-century intersection of conservation and community, with the Ogemaw State Forest and Rifle River State Recreation Area spanning large portions of the terrain. Family-named landmarks and infrastructure such as Ammond Creek, Butler Creek, and numerous Gravel Pits suggest a landscape geared toward both recreation at sites like Camp Lu Lay Lea and the practical resource extraction required for local road maintenance.
