2023 Map of Bear Lake

About this map

Bear Lake defines the central topography of this Manistee County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding village of Bear Lake and several historic burial sites. The township is characterized by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks, reflecting a settled agricultural and lakeside community. Significant genealogical interest is found in the numerous cemeteries distributed across the townships, including Bear Lake Township Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the Fairview Cem South Annex. Along the western shoreline, the settlement of Arcadia sits near Arcadia Lake, while the coastal hamlet of Pierport is positioned further south. The drainage system is intricate, with several small waterways like Bowens Creek, Tondu Creek, and Ware Creek carving through the terrain toward the larger lakes. High ground is marked by Emerald Ridge and the prominent Lookout Point, which offers views over the coastal shelf.
