About this map

Bourret Cemetery and the settlement of Greenwood anchor the southern portion of this Michigan landscape in Ogemaw County. The terrain is defined by glacial elevations such as Tolfee Hill, Cook Hills, and Kuhn Hill, which rise above the headwaters of several critical drainages. This area marks a significant hydrological divide where the West Branch Rifle River flows toward the northeast while the East Branch Tittabawassee River and its tributaries, including Spring Creek and LaPorte Creek, lead south. Transport and infrastructure are prominent, with the West Branch Community Airport serving the region and a major north-south corridor cutting through the center of the sheet, supported by the West Branch Rest Area and Alger Rest Area. Local recreation centers on the western edge near Lake George and the eastern Greenwood Campground, illustrating a mix of seasonal tourism and established rural homesteads.
