==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|563|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|547|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|16|sqmi}} (2.8%) is water.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_26.txt|publisher=US Census Bureau|access-date=September 27, 2014|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113024015/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_26.txt|archive-date=November 13, 2013}}</ref> Although it lies on Michigan's Lower Peninsula, Montmorency County is considered to be part of [[Northern Michigan]]. Most of the county is covered by state forest land. There is an abundance of lakes, such as [[Long Lake (Montmorency County, Michigan)|Long Lake]]. Glaciers shaped the area, creating a unique regional ecosystem. A large portion of the area is the Grayling outwash plain, a broad outwash plain including sandy ice-disintegration ridges, jack pine barrens, some white pine-red pine forest, and northern hardwood forest. Large lakes were created by glacial action.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/habitat/rlandscp/s7-2-2.htm|title=NPWRC :: Regional Landscape|work=usgs.gov|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625181556/http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/habitat/rlandscp/s7-2-2.htm|archive-date=June 25, 2013}}</ref> ===Adjacent counties=== {{div col}} *[[Presque Isle County, Michigan|Presque Isle County]] - northeast *[[Alpena County, Michigan|Alpena County]] - east *[[Alcona County, Michigan|Alcona County]] - southeast *[[Oscoda County, Michigan|Oscoda County]] - south *[[Crawford County, Michigan|Crawford County]] - southwest *[[Otsego County, Michigan|Otsego County]] - west *[[Cheboygan County, Michigan|Cheboygan County]] - northwest {{div col end}} ===Major highways=== *{{jct|state=MI|M|32}} *{{jct|state=MI|M|33}} *{{jct|state=MI|M-Bus|32|dab1=Hillman}} *{{jct|state=MI|CDH|F-01}} *{{jct|state=MI|CDH|F-21}} There are no [[traffic light]]s in Montmorency County, although a few blinking lights exist at highway [[Junction (road)|junctions]].
