About this map

The Au Sable River winds through this central Michigan landscape, serving as a corridor for recreational camps and small settlements. In the early 21st century, this area of Crawford County remains characterized by its dense network of truck trails and fire roads, including the Bucks E and W Truck Trl and Grayling-Jones Lake Truck Trl. The map documents established institutional sites such as Camp Wa-Wa-Sum, Camp Shoppenagon, and the Camp Ginger Quill near Barker Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Stephan Cem near Stephans Bridge provides a specific point for family research. Small residential clusters and recreational destinations like Babbits Resort, Wildwood, and Five Corners anchor the southern portion of the sheet. Natural features including Wakeley Lake and the Kneff Lakes highlight the importance of water access in the region's development and seasonal habitation.
