2023 Map of Arlene

About this map

Arlene sits at the heart of this North Central Michigan landscape, where the rural grid meets the winding courses of the Manistee River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Hopkins Creek, Golden Creek, and Morrissey Creek, which carve through the glacial topography. Cultural markers important for genealogical research are preserved here, notably Bloomfield Cem and Caldwell Cem, which serve as quiet anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The presence of the Shore To Shore Trl and North Missaukee Trl highlights the area's transition into a recreational landscape while maintaining its historic township structure. Local landmarks like Boiling Springs and Ham Creek further emphasize the water-rich nature of this Missaukee County region, while the boundary with Wexford County marks the western edge of the survey.
