About this map

Boon sits at the heart of this Wexford County landscape, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural townships. The settlement pattern here reflects the agricultural and forestry history of northern Michigan, with the vast Manistee National Forest anchoring the central terrain. To the north, the small community of Meauwataha is situated near Meauwataha Lake, where the Meauwataha Cem preserves the area's genealogical history.

Transport routes and drainage define the land's utility, with Millersville appearing further south and several family-named roads like Karen Dr and Chandler Dr branching off the primary thoroughfares. The presence of multiple cemeteries, including West Cem, East Cem, and Selma Cem, provides essential points of interest for family historians. Water features such as Woodward Lake and Brandy Cr illustrate the natural hydrology that supported early development in this forest-rich region.
