About this map

The Manistee National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Wexford County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous streams carve through the timberland. Water defines the region's geography, from the southern tip of Lake Mitchell in the northeast corner to the winding course of the North Branch Pine River near the southern boundary. Small family burial grounds and community sites such as the Larson Family Cem and Cherry Grove Cem are tucked among the forest roads and section lines, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research. The map captures a transition point where three counties — Wexford, Lake, and Osceola — converge. This intersection is marked by a network of forest service routes, including the Ward Hills-Cadillac Smt Dnr35 Trl, which navigate the terrain around Fairchild Creek and Hay Lake.
