2017 Map of Buckley

About this map

Buckley sits at the southern edge of this Michigan landscape, marking the transition between Grand Traverse and Wexford Counties. The area is defined by a series of small agricultural settlements and crossroads including Hannah, Hilltop, and Monroe Center, each surrounded by a grid of rural roads and orchards. These small communities are historically anchored by local burial grounds such as Saint Mary's Cem and Monroe Center Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research in this part of the state. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial features, from the elevation of Pierce Hill in the north to the low-lying wetlands feeding W Br Anderson Creek. Smaller water bodies like Bartlett Lake and Fish Lake are interspersed among the farms, while the larger Duck Lake occupies the northwestern corner, providing a clear boundary for the local topography.
