2023 Map of Whittemore

About this map

Whittemore and the neighboring village of Turner anchor this survey of the boundary lands between Iosco and Arenac counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drains, including the Au Gres River and numerous tributaries like Whitney Creek and Johnson Creek. This drainage pattern reflects the region's agricultural foundations, where land management has long been essential for local farming. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Burleigh Cem, Johnson Creek Cem, and Cedar Valley Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships. The map also delineates large managed areas, notably the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan, highlighting the continued intersection of public land management and private industry in this part of Michigan.
