2014 Map of Axin

About this map

The Manistee National Forest covers much of this landscape at the intersection of Lake, Wexford, and Osceola counties. The small settlement of Axin serves as a central point in a region defined by its water systems and forestry roads. Numerous family burial sites, including the Larson Family Cem, Cherry Grove Cem, and Irwin Family Center Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research in this part of Michigan. The area is heavily wooded and drained by a network of streams like Mitchell Cr and Fairchild Cr, which flow toward larger bodies such as Lake Mitchell and Lake Olga. The road network is a mix of numbered county routes and forest service tracks like FR 5498, reflecting the area's dual character as both a rural residential zone and a managed timberland.
