Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominates the northern reaches of this Benzie County landscape, where the sandy margins of Lake Michigan meet a complex interior of glacial lakes. The village of Beulah sits at the eastern edge of Crystal Lake, serving as a central hub for the surrounding community and its nearby counterpart, Beulah Beach. Moving east, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Platte River and the North Branch Platte River, which link together a series of smaller water bodies including Little Platte Lake, Otter Lake, and Bass Lake. At the intersection of local transportation routes, the settlement of Honor appears along the riverbank, marked by its proximity to the Honor Sewage Lagoons. Genealogists may find interest in the centrally located Champion Hill Cem, while topographic details reveal the distinct landforms of Birch Point and Bay Point jutting into the larger lakes.
