2014 Map of Spruce

About this map

Lost Lake Woods stands as a prominent residential development and recreational hub within Alcona County, its private road network contrasting with the surrounding wildlands. The settlement of Spruce sits at a crossroads further north, where the South Br Devils River flows through the township. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring numerous isolated basins such as Bear Lake, Deer Lake, and Badger Lake. A significant portion of the southeastern quadrangle is managed as part of the Huron National Forest, characterized by its lack of dense residential platting compared to the lake-centered communities. Genealogists and local historians will find the Caledonia Township Cem clearly marked near the center of the sheet, providing a primary point of reference for the township's early families. The drainage patterns of Holcomb Creek and Sucker Cr further illustrate the area's transition into the forested interior of Northeastern Michigan.
