About this map

The Manistee River and its network of tributaries, including Hopkins Creek and Morrisy Creek, carve through this section of Missaukee County. In this rural landscape, the settlement of Arlene sits at the junction of local roads and watercourses, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the river valley's timber and transit roots. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near sites such as Caldwell Cemetery and Bloomfield Cemetery, which remain as anchor points for the surrounding community.

Outdoor recreation is highlighted by the Hopkins Creek Trail Campground and Chase Creek Campground, marking the area's use as a gateway to Northern Michigan's woodlands. The presence of the Pleasant Hill School and family-named roads like Moorestown Rd and N Truesdale Rd suggest a landscape structured by early 20th-century rural development. Small water bodies like Lost Lake and various creeks like Golden Creek further define the intricate drainage pattern of this high-elevation plateau.
