About this map

Arcadia and the surrounding township appear here along the Lake Michigan shoreline, defined by a series of inland waters and small agricultural settlements. The landscape transitions from the coastal dunes near Arcadia Lake to the prominent freshwater basin of Bear Lake further inland. A dense network of rural roads, such as Glovers Lake Rd and Saint Pierre Rd, connects dispersed communities like Malcolm and Pierport.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the township, including the Pilgrim Home Cem and Bear Lake Cem. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Lookout Point and Emerald Ridge, while numerous watercourses like Bowens Cr and Schimke Cr drain the glacial topography. This modern survey provides an exact look at the contemporary land divisions and preserved open spaces of northern Manistee County.
