Five hand-painted arms. Legible on this frame:

arm reads
Lake Geneserath S. Arm 2.7 Mi
Beaver Head Lighthouse 3.6 Mi
[Fox] Lake Rd: 3.8 Mi
W. Side Dr. Miller Marsh 2.6 Mi
Lake Geneserath N.[Arm]

The object bears no text reading “MASH”. That name is how the township narrative and this archive’s sources refer to the junction, not a label on the sign. See The MASH sign.
