About this map

The Manistee River winds through the northern reaches of this rural landscape, marking the transition from the river bottom toward the upland plateaus. Centered on the boundary between Wexford Co and Missaukee Co, the area is characterized by a regular grid of section roads and small agricultural settlements. The small community of Arlene sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a local focal point alongside several rural burying grounds including Bloomfield Cem and Caldwell Cem.

Hydrologically, the terrain is defined by a series of small watercourses like Hopkins Cr, Golden Cr, and Morrisy Cr that drain the interior forest and farmland. Notable natural features such as Boiling Springs near the northern boundary and Lost Lake to the south offer specific points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family landholdings in Caldwell Township. The survival of naming conventions for local routes, such as Bosscher Rd and N LaChance Rd, reflects the long-standing family ties to this corner of Michigan.
