About this map

The Au Sable River winds through this section of Crawford County, carving a path between the northern reaches of the Huron National Forest and the specialized grounds of NG MTC-H Camp Grayling. The landscape is a mosaic of conservation and recreation, notably featuring the Kirtlands Warbler WMA, dedicated to protecting the habitat of its namesake songbird. Small settlements like Bucks, Wildwood, and Five Corners are connected by a network of forest roads and trails, including the aptly named Huckleberry Trl and Artillery Trl.

Water is a defining characteristic of the area, with numerous bodies such as Wakeley Lake, the Kneff Lakes, and Kyle Lake scattered across the glacial terrain. Near the river's edge, the Stephan Cem provides a point of genealogical interest, reflecting the early rural community that took root along these waterways. The presence of specialized truck trails and fire lines underscores the active management of these timberlands and wildlife areas.
