2017 Map of Sterling NW

About this map

Glacial hills and sprawling wetlands define the boundary between Ogemaw, Gladwin, and Arenac counties in this 2017 survey. The landscape transitions from the elevated Cook Hills and Tolfree Hill in the north toward the extensive basin of the East Branch Tittabawassee River and its numerous tributaries like Spring Cr and LaPorte Cr. The small community of Greenwood sits along Co HWY F 18, serving as a localized point of settlement amid a network of county roads and trails. The map highlights the headwaters of several regional drainage systems, including the West Branch Rifle River, and documents specialized features like the Dog Sled Trl and the West Branch Community Airport. For genealogists, the Bourret Cem remains a significant landmark near the Gladwin county line.
