2023 Map of Brevort

About this map

The settlement of Brevort sits perched along the northern shoreline of Lake Michigan, where the coastal landscape is defined by the steep Manitou Payment Highbanks and the prominent Manitou Payment Point. This modern survey illustrates a complex network of recreational and historic paths, including the Brevort-Trout Lake Motorcycle Trl and the Carp River Snomo Trl, which navigate the dense wetlands and creek-fed interiors. Near the coast, the Western Cem serves as a quiet record of local heritage, situated just west of the mouth of the Little Brevoort River. The interior drainage is dominated by the South Branch Carp River and the Cut River, which cut through a landscape that transitioned from early logging and pioneer settlement to a modern focus on outdoor recreation, as evidenced by the Switchback Ridge Pathway Trl near Little Brevoort Lake.
