About this map

Tower and its surrounding countryside in northern Michigan are defined by a network of waterways that converge near the Tower Pond. The settlement serves as a local hub for this part of Cheboygan County, centered around the Tower Post Office and the crossing of the Black River. The landscape is a mosaic of small lakes and drainage systems, where Milligan Creek flows through the western section toward McLavey Lake and Dorsey Lake.

A network of local roads such as Ballard Rd and Centerline Rd grid the township, providing access to more remote features like Marsh Lake in the south. The presence of the Forest Lawn Cemetery east of town offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this timber and water-rich region. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the area where numerous small tributaries like Sturgis Creek and Gregg Creek feed into the larger river valley.
