About this map

The crossroads of Boon and the northern settlement of Meauwataka anchor this portion of Wexford County, revealing a landscape defined by small glacial lakes and managed timberlands. Much of the southern and eastern territory is occupied by the Manistee National Forest, where a grid of secondary roads like W 32 Rd and S 25 Rd provides access to the interior. This survey captures the rural layout of the area in the early 21st century, showing the proximity of several community burial grounds including West Cem, East Cem, and Selma Cem.

Water features are prominent throughout the terrain, from the centered Meauwataka Lake and Altman Lake to the edges of Lake Mitchell in the southeast. These basins, along with Woodward Lake and Brandy Cr, suggest the importance of the local watershed to both recreation and conservation efforts within the national forest boundaries. The small cluster at Millersville further illustrates the dispersed nature of the county's residential development during this era.
