Where is Oden Located?
Oden is in the southeastern part of Emmet County. It sits right on the north shore of Crooked Lake. This lake is a popular spot for outdoor activities.
A main road, U.S. Route 31, goes through Oden. If you travel southwest on this road for about 8 miles (13 km), you'll reach Petoskey. Petoskey is the "county seat," which means it's where the main government offices for Emmet County are located. If you go northeast on Route 31 for about 3 miles (5 km), you'll arrive in Alanson.
For the first time in 2010, Oden was officially recognized as a census-designated place. This gave it clear boundaries and allowed its population to be counted separately. The total area of Oden is about 0.61 square miles (1.6 square kilometers), and all of it is land.
