Rifle River flows southward through a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and small watercourses on the border of Ogemaw and Arenac counties. The area around Skidway Lake and Elbow Lake shows a dense grid of residential roads, illustrating the post-war recreational and seasonal development common in Northern Michigan. This 2017 survey details the transition from these clustered lakeside communities to the more open township lands to the south, where the Moffatt Bridge crosses the river near the boundary of T20N R3E and T20N R4E.
