Route Map of D-19

Notes:

Known as Pinckney Rd for much of its length, D-19 is one of only two Intercounty Highways in Southeast Michigan and both are in Livingston Co.

Due to a lack of route signage for D-19 south of Pinckney—in fact, MDOT failed to replace D-19 route markers in downtown Pinckney where the route departs from M-36 via Howell St when those signs went missing in the early 2000s—and D-32 signage just "begins" along Patterson Lake Rd as it proceeds westerly from Toma Rd, the precise southern terminus of D-19 is somewhat difficult to locate in the field.

Notes:

D-32 is literally the "Road to Hell"—along its route is the small community of Hell, Michigan, southwest of Pinckney. Signs pointing the way to Hell on M-106 at D-32's western end are often stolen by who find them amusing and "collectable."

D-32 is one of only two Intercounty Highways in Southeast Michigan and both are in Livingston Co.

Notes:

F-01 generally follows the Otsego/Montmorency Co line for its entire length.

While most maps, the Official Michigan highway map included, show F-01 beginning at F-38's eastern terminus, actual signage on the route extends south to Co Rd 612.

It is unclear how F-01 was assigned its route number, being so far east of the western boundary of "F territory" at Old US-27 running from Cheboygan through Gaylord, Grayling and southerly toward Clare. F-01 is runs approximately 16 miles east of this boundary and is actually east of F-97, another north-south Intercounty Highway which, technically, should have a F-xx designation less than that of the route running along F-01. More appropriate designations for these routes may have been F-07 for F-97 and F-09 for F-01.

Route Map of F-18

The Ogemaw Routes maps

Notes:

F-18 is one of a few unique Intercounty routes presented here which require some explanation. After having debuted as an Intercounty Highway route in Roscommon and Ogemaw Cos in 1979 or early 1980—it first appeared on the 1980 Michigan Official Transportation Map—the entire route of F-18 along with four other Roscommon–Ogemaw–Iosco Intercounty routes were suddenly removed from the official map for the 1985 edition. While this would have normally meant the routes were decommissioned and the route markers were taken down, in this case the routes in two of the three counties remained signed as they always had. Iosco Co had removed its two routes, while Ogemaw and Roscommon Cos made no changes to their routes, including F-18.
For approximately two decades, F-18 remained largely signed in Roscommon and Ogemaw Cos as it had during the time it appeared on the official state map. Then, in 2004, MDOT put the Roscommon Co portion back on the official state map, but not the Ogemaw Co portion! The five-mile segment of F-18 from the Roscommon/Ogemaw Co line easterly to M-30 was re-added to the official state transportation map for the 2007 edition, while the seven-mile segment from M-30 to M-33 was re-added for the 2010 map. The remainder of F-18, which is still signed all the way to Prescott in southeastern Ogemaw Co, remains off the official state map for some unknown reason at present.
For more information, see The Ogemaw Routes page.

History:

1979–80

– The route of F-18 is added to the 1980 Michigan Official Transportation Map in Roscommon and Ogemaw Cos. Beginning at F-97/Maple Valley Rd in southeastern Roscommon Co and proceeding easterly along Greenwood Rd into Ogemaw Co, intersecting M-30 and Old M-76/Alger Rd appoximately seven miles south of West Branch, then passing through the heart of the Skidway Lake area before terminating at F-19/Sage Lake Rd on the east side of the village of Prescott. Official Ogemaw Co road maps indicate an eastern extension of F-18 may have been proposed to continue from Prescott along Greenwood Rd to McLean Rd–Siegrist Rd on the Iosco Co line where it was to have turned southerly along the county line road for a mile to Sheffer Rd–Keystone Rd, but this extension was likely just on paper and never signed as such in the field. It was never indicated as continuing east of Prescott on official MDOT maps.

1985

– The entirety of F-18 is removed from the 1985 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map, however the entire route remains signed in both Roscommon and Ogemaw Cos. The reason for its removal from the map is not yet clear.

2004

– The portion of F-18 in Roscommon Co is re-added to the 2004 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map, however the portion of the route in Ogemaw Co remains omitted from the map at this point, even though it remains signed in the field.

2007

– After having been informed that the department has actually maintained signage pointing toward F-18 along M-30 south of West Branch for decades, F-18 from the Roscommon/Ogemaw Co line easterly to M-30 is re-added to the 2007 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map, however the remainder of F-18 to the east remains omitted from the map.

2010

–The portion of F-18 from M-30 south of West Branch in Ogemaw Co easterly to M-33 is re-added to the 2010 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map, however the remainder of F-18 to the east remains omitted from the map.

The Ogemaw Routes maps

Notes:

F-19 is one of a few unique Intercounty routes presented here which require some explanation. After having debuted as an Intercounty Highway route in Roscommon and Ogemaw Cos in 1977 or early 1978—it first appeared on the 1978 Michigan Official Transportation Map—the entire route of F-19 along with four other Roscommon–Ogemaw–Iosco Intercounty routes were suddenly removed from the official map for the 1985 edition. While this would have normally meant the routes were decommissioned and the route markers were taken down, in this case the routes in two of the three counties remained signed as they always had. Iosco Co had removed its two routes, while Ogemaw and Roscommon Cos made no changes to their routes, including F-19.
Since 1985, F-19 has remained largely signed in Ogemaw Co from the Village of Prescott northerly to the Sage Lake area, although MDOT has refused to indicate the route on its official state maps nor does it erect signs for the route along M-55/Tawas Rd at Nester in Logan Twp unlike how it does sign the junction of F-18 and M-30 in Edwards Twp. It is unknown why F-19 goes unacknowledged by MDOT at present.
For more information, see The Ogemaw Routes page.

History:

1977-78

– The route of F-19 is added to the 1978 Michigan Official Transportation Map in Ogemaw Co. Beginning at the Arenac/Ogemaw Co line and proceeding northerly along Sage Lake Rd through the Village of Prescott, intersecting M-55 approximately 15 miles east of West Branch, then terminating at F-26 at the cnr of Sage Lake Rd & Townhall Rd on the north shore of Sage Lake in Hill Twp.

1985

– The entirety of F-19 is removed from the 1985 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map, however the route remains signed, at least the portion from Prescott northerly. (It is at this time the two-mile segment from F-18 at Prescott southerly to the Arenac Co line is decommissioned.) The reason for its removal from the map is not yet clear.

Map:

Route Map of F-21

Notes:

As previously noted, signage along Michigan's Intercounty Highways can be rather sporadic, and in some areas nonexistant, so pinpointing the exact termini of F-21 is somewhat difficult. The southern terminus is assumed to be correct, as it is rather well-signed along M-32. As for the northern terminus, it was one thought the route terminated as M-68 just east of US-23, however signage in the area implies the terminus is at US-23 instead. Again, dealing with these highways is not an exact science...

It appears that at various times during the 20th Century, the State of Michigan expended money on maintenance and reconstruction efforts on Co Rd 451 (present-day F-21), however according to State Highway Department sources the route was never assumed into the state trunkline system. It is unclear whether this had ever been proposed, though one state-produced (non-State Highway Department) map did erroneously label the route as "M-451" for a short time.

F-21 is Presque Isle County's only Intercounty Highway and is also known as Co Rd 451 over its entire length in both Montmorency and Presque Isle counties.

Notes:

F-26 is one of a few unique Intercounty routes presented here which require some explanation. After having debuted as an Intercounty Highway route in Iosco Co in 1977 or early 1978—it first appeared on the 1978 Michigan Official Transportation Map—the entire route of F-26 along with four other Roscommon–Ogemaw–Iosco Intercounty routes were suddenly removed from the official map for the 1985 edition. While this would have normally meant the routes were decommissioned and the route markers were taken down, in this case the routes in two of the three counties remained signed as they always had. Iosco Co had removed its two routes, while Ogemaw actually signed F-26 even though it was not indicated as such on the official state maps from 1978 through 1984!
Since 1985, F-26 has remained largely signed in Ogemaw Co from M-33 easterly to the Iosco Co line, although MDOT has refused to indicate the route on its official state maps nor does it erect signs for the route along M-33 south of Rose City unlike how it does sign the junction of F-18 and M-30 in Edwards Twp. It is unknown why F-26 goes unacknowledged by MDOT at present.
For more information, see The Ogemaw Routes page.

History:

1977-78

– The route of F-26 is added to the 1978 Michigan Official Transportation Map in Iosco Co. Beginning at the Ogemaw/Iosco Co line and proceeding easterly along Esmond Rd through the community of Hale and an intersection with M-65, continuing easterly along Esmond to Vaughn Rd, then southerly along Vaughn to Indian Lake Rd, easterly a short distant via Indian Lake Rd, then easterly, then southeastery via Plank Rd to M-55 northwest of Tawas City where it terminated.

1985

– The entirety of F-26 is removed from the 1985 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map in Iosco Co and it is assumed the route is fully decommissioned by Iosco Co at this point. It is unknown if F-26 route markers are ever actually erected along that route in Iosco Co during its existence. However, a segment of F-26 in neighboring Ogemaw Co is signed beginning at what had been the western terminus of F-26 on the Iosco/Ogemaw Co line westerly and southwesterly via Townhall Rd to F-19/Sage Lake Rd, then almost due westerly via Sage Lake Rd to M-33 approximately four miles south of Rose City. Official Ogemaw Co road maps indicate a western extension of F-26 may have been proposed to continue from M-33 along Sage Lake Rd to Fairview Rd approximately six miles north of West Branch, but this extension was likely just on paper and never signed as such in the field.

History:

1977-78

– The route of F-28 is added to the 1978 Michigan Official Transportation Map in Roscommon, Ogemaw and Iosco Cos. Beginning at F-97/Saint Helen Rd in north of Saint Helen and proceeding easterly along School Rd into Ogemaw Co, then continuing across the entirety of Ogemaw Co via Rose City Rd (called Main St through the City of Rose City). At the Iosco Co line, F-28 continues easterly via Rose City Rd to the cnr of Long Lake Rd & Main St in Long Lake, then turns northerly via Main St for approx 350 ft before turning roughly easterly following the north shore of Long Lake itself via Kokosing Rd then heading due easterly, still via Kokosing Rd to M-65 where it terminates three miles north of downtown Hale.

1985

– The entirety of F-28 is removed from the 1985 edition of the Michigan Official Transportation Map in Iosco Co and it is assumed the route is fully decommissioned by Iosco Co at this point.

The route of today's F-41 follows the route of the former M-171, which itself was designated along a previous alignment of US-23 prior to the completion of the current shoreline routing for that highway in the mid-1930s. As such, even though F-41 has not been on the state trunkline system since 1960, it still retains a certain "state highway" feel to it.

While Iosco Co once had several other Intercounty Highways both posted in the field and indicated on the Official State Transporation Map, F-41 is the only one of those remaining today.

Route Map of F-97

Notes:

Beginning with the newly-digitized 2003-04 Official Michigan Transportation Map, MDOT began leaving off the northernmost portion of F-97 from their highway maps, indicating F-97 now terminates at F-38/Old State Rd instead of continuing through to M-32 near Johannesburg. An acutal route change had not been made, however, it was simply another of many errors on the new computer-generated version of the official map. It was corrected within a few editions and once again reflects the actual route of F-97.

For many years, F-97 was the only Intercounty Highway in the Lower Peninsula which was still is not fully hard-surfaced (paved). It has been hard-surfaced since at least the early 2000s, if not since the late 1990s.

It is unclear how F-97 was assigned its route number, being so close to the western boundary of "F territory" at Old US-27 running from Cheboygan through Gaylord, Grayling and southerly toward Clare. F-97 is runs roughly 12 miles east of this boundary and is actually west of F-01, another north-south County-Designated Highway which, technically, should have a F-xx greater less than that of the route running along F-97. More appropriate designations for these routes may have been F-07 for F-97 and F-09 for F-01.

Route Map of Former G-38

Notes:

At first, the sudden disappearance of the "G-38" symbol from the 1995-96 Official Michigan Transportation Map suggested G-38 may no longer be in existence. After a field checking trip to the area, however, the removal of the symbol may have been done to correct a long-standing error. It is believed G-38 has not been signed in Delta Co for quite some time and the Delta Co chose to no longer participate in the Intercounty Highway program long ago. In addition, Marquette Co has never signed such highways within its borders, so it may be safe to say G-38 was not signed east of Dickinson Co for many years.

Another field-checking expedition found no remaining evidence of G-38 in Dickinson Co as well. At the Marquette/Dickinson Co line, no G-38 route markers greet motorists. At the route's western terminus at Co Rd 581 in Ralph, no G-38 or G-67 markers of any kind are present. The route was finally removed from the Official Michigan Transportation Map in 2003 and it can be assumed G-38 officially no longer exists, although it may have been "decommissioned" for many years prior.

While G-38 is no longer an official Intercounty Highway, its listing will remain here for the forseeable future to assist those looking for information on this former route.

The continued existence of G-67 in Dickinson Co was in much doubt as for many years the only G-67 route markers were those posted by MDOT along M-69 at Felch pointing north toward Ralph. Dickinson Co only signed the route as Co Rd 581 and no G-67 signs existed on the route by the mid-1990s. The route was finally removed from the Official Michigan Transportation Map in 2003 and it can be assumed G-67 officially no longer exists, although it may have been "decommissioned" for many years prior. It is unclear at present if MDOT has also removed the G-67 route markers from M-69 at Felch, however.

While G-67 is no longer an official Intercounty Highway, its listing will remain here for the forseeable future to assist those looking for information on this former route.

Route Map of G-69

Notes:

As has been noted in the other former Intercounty Highway listings in Dickinson Co (Former G-38, Former G-67), it is assumed the Dickinson Co Road Commission no longer participates in the Intercounty Higway program. The other routes have been removed from the Official Michigan Transportation Map and no route signs appear along these highways. However, G-69 remains labeled on the latest Official Michigan Transportation Map and, as such, remains listed here as an active route. Even though Dickinson Co may no longer post G-69 route markers along Co Rd 569, both of G-69's termini lie at state trunklines where MDOT still posts route markers directing motorists to the road. Since G-69/Co Rd 569 does not change direction between Waucedah and Foster City and no other major highways intersect it, the only thing keeping this route alive just may be the two pairs of G-69 route markers, two along US-2 and two more along M-69.

It is only coincidence that routes M-69 and G-69 intersect in Dickinson County. M-69 ran via its current route between M-95 and US-2 until 1960 when this segment was given back to county control. A dozen years later it became G-30 at the same time G-69 was created. In the early 1990s, the M-69 routing was re-designated along its current alignment (supplanting G-30) and M-69 and G-69 became intersecting routes. Other than sharing a number, they are not related.

Route Map of H-05

Notes:

H-05 is a "spur route," in a sense, as it terminates at the Alger/Delta Co line and only exists in Alger Co. For about a decade in the late-1970s and early-80s, H-05 was shown on the Official Michigan Transportation Map as continuing southerly into Delta Co via Co Rd 509 to US-2 just east of Rapid River. It is not clear if Delta ever actually signed this route in the field and since 1984, H-05 has only been shown in Alger Co.

Most of this route is gravel-surfaced.

Route Map of Unsigned H-09

Notes:

H-09 has never been indicated on the Official Michigan Transportation Map and only appears on few other maps. Route markers pointing to this route have never been posted by MDOT along M-94 southwest of Munising and it seems Alger Co has never actually posted route markers along H-09. Thus, very little is known about this route.

Motorists wishing to explore H-09 will likely have a difficult time finding maps showing the route. It begins at FFH-13/H-13 approximately 8½ miles south of Wetmore and continues northwesterly via Buckhorn Rd (NF 2254) for 8½ miles to Sixteen Mile Lake Rd, then turns northerly via Sixteen Mile Lake for 2/10 mile to M-94 where it terminates.

Route Map of H-11

Notes:

H-11 is Michigan's newest Intercounty Highway designation, being first signed in the field in either 2004 or 2005 and showing up for the first time on the Official Michigan Transportation Map produced by MDOT in 2005. —Many thanks to Robert Halonen for his report on this new route!

It is rather ironic that this new and very well-signed Intercounty Highway route runs along an alignment shown for decades on the Official Michigan Transportation Map as being part of H-13, itself never signed on this route! However, during the 2004–05 timeframe, the Alger Co Road Commission, for some reason, went on a sign-upgrade rampage and now many of these routes across the county are now easily followed by motorists without needing to rely on a highly-detailed and accurate map. During this "rampage," H-11 debuted.

At first, motorists wishing to explore H-11 had a difficult time finding maps showing the route, although it was well-signed in the field. Since 2005, more commercially-produced state maps have been properly showing H-11 on their maps.

History:

2004-05 - H-11 debuts during a massive route marker improvement project across Alger Co along a route formerly identified as part of H-13 but never signed as such.

Route Map of H-13

Notes:

H-13 typifies the signage and designation problems found on Intercounty Highways in Michigan. First, H-13 is concurrently designated with Federal Forest Highway 13 (FFH-13) between US-2 and M-28/M-94, a route designated by the U.S. Forest Service, and is known locally as "Forest Highway 13." Most of the signage along the US-2 to M-28/M-94 portion of the highway only reflects FFH-13 and not the H-13 designation. Second, Delta Co does not sign Intercounty Highways within its borders, so the only H-13 signs in Delta Co are the ones erected by MDOT along US-2 at Nahma Junction. Third, much of H-13 exists in Alger Co, which until 2004-05 was notoriously bad for signage. Granted, the resources usually aren't available for a program deemed unimportant by local officials, but very few, if any, H-13 signs have existed north of M-28/M-94. In fact, neither the concurrent H-13/H-58 stretch nor the portion along Pictured Rocks Tr (Miner's Castle Rd) were even signed as H-13 prior to Pictured Rocks Tr (Miner's Castle Rd)'s redesignation as H-11 in 2004-05!

Motorists wishing to explore H-13 will likely have a difficult time finding signs designating the route. It begins at US-2 at Nahma Junction and proceeds northerly following FFH-13 for its entire 35.2 mile-length to M-28/M-94 at Wetmore. From there, H-13 continues northerly via Connors Rd for 2.7 miles to H-58/Munising-Van Meer-Shingleton Rd, where it terminates. Formerly H-13 continued easterly with H-58 for 3.2 miles before turning northerly onto Miners Castle Rd (Pictured Rocks Tr) for a final 3.5 miles to its former terminus at the end of county maintenance south of the Miner's Castle parking area in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

2004-05 - H-13 is technically truncated to its first (western) junction with H-58 east of Munising when H-11 debuts during a massive route marker improvement project across Alger Co along a route formerly identified as part of H-13 but never signed as such.
