2019 Map of Benzonia

About this map

Benzonia and Beulah serve as the primary hubs in this Benzie County landscape, characterized by the winding course of the Betsie River and its several tributaries including Cold Cr and Dair Cr. The map captures the area's development from the residential streets of the villages to the outlying agricultural and recreational lands. To the southeast, the topography rises toward Buck Hills and the Crystal Mountain resort area, marking a distinct transition from the river valley. Genealogists and local historians can find precise locations for the Benzonia Township Cem near the center of the township and the Joyfield Township Cem further south. The drainage patterns of the N Br Herring Cr and the presence of the Beulah-Benzonia Sewage Disposal Ponds illustrate the modern infrastructure and natural water systems that sustain these communities. A network of rural roads such as Joyfield Rd and Love Rd connect the scattered homesteads across the townships.
