How to Use This Spruce, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Spruce, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Spruce.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Spruce, Michigan

Spruce is a locality in Dickinson County, Michigan, United States. Spruce is located at 45.9858°N, 87.7774°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP codes: 49831, 48762.

Spruce occupies a quiet corner of the interior landscape where the land settles into a rhythmic pattern of earth and timber. It lies 38.1 miles west-northwest of Escanaba, MI (from Escanaba, MI: bearing 296°T), and is situated 18.0 miles northeast of Iron Mountain. Quarry Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the terrain, its waters moving with a steady, unhurried purpose that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate banks, the Crystal Falls State Forest Area blankets the surroundings in a dense, verdant expanse, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Iron Hill marks the edge of the horizon. Two miles away, the surface of Spruce Lake catches the fading light of evening, turning the sky’s amber glow into a deep, reflective violet that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the trees.

Spruce developed as a modest junction of industry and timber, drawing its character from the dense woods and the labor required to clear them. The economy remains rooted in this legacy, favoring a slow, deliberate pace where the work of the day is measured by the changing seasons and the resilience of the local soil. Residents often traverse the woods toward the sound of Lower Mill Pond Falls, where the water’s persistent tumble provides a constant, rhythmic backdrop to the stillness of the region. Life in Spruce functions on a scale that prioritizes the immediate and the tangible, honoring a heritage built by those who understood that the true value of the land lay in its quiet, enduring presence.

About This Spruce Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Spruce, Michigan. Coordinates: 45.985787, -87.777354. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Spruce includes the ZIP code (49831, 48762), telephone area code (906, 586), county seat of Dickinson County (Iron Mountain), and school district assignment.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
