About this map

Camp Grayling Military Reservation occupies the southern portion of this landscape, its northern boundary cutting through the forests and wetlands near Rosecrans Hill. The topography is dominated by an intricate network of water, with the North Branch Au Sable River winding across the terrain and feeding numerous glacial lakes like Turtle Lake and Opal Lake.

Evidence of private recreation and river-based life is found at Viking Club, Farrar Landing, and Whites Landing. North of the military boundary, the Pigeon River State Forest preserves the woodland character of Otsego County. Local transit is centered on the Old State Road 618, while small ranching outposts such as Triple K Ranch and Chub River Ranch indicate the modest settlement pattern of the early 1950s.
