Packard is located at the intersection of Country Trunk Highway RR and Chapin Road,[2] at an elevation of 692 feet (211 m).[1] It is connected by road to McAllister to the south and Koss, Michigan to the north.[2]
Packard was a stop between McAllister and Koss on the Wisconsin & Michigan (W. & M.) Railway line from Bagley Junction to Iron Mountain.[3] The rail line through Packard was discontinued in 1938, when the tracks were torn out and the rolling stock sold off.[3][4][5] The entire town was destroyed by a forest fire in October, 1908.[6]
