About this map

The Rifle River meanders through this portion of Ogemaw County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of inland lakes and small tributaries. This 2011 survey details the settlement of Skidway Lake, where a dense residential grid is served by the Skidway Lake Post Office near the shores of its namesake water body. To the southwest, the community of Alger sits along the map's western edge, marked by its own Alger Post Office.

Evidence of the area's recreational and community character is found at sites like the Hardwood Lake Campground, Rifle River Camp, and Covenant Cove Camp. Waterways such as Silver Creek, Prather Creek, and Mills Creek drain the numerous lakes scattered across the township, including Lake Ogemaw, Bovee Lake, and Elbow Lake. Genealogists may find interest in the Mills Cemetery and the location of Moffatt Bridge, which provides a crossing over the river in the southern sector.
