2014 Map of Burdickville

About this map

Glen Lake and the eastern reaches of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominate the northwestern corner of this Michigan landscape. The small settlement of Burdickville serves as a hub near the southern shore of the lake, surrounded by a dense network of glacial water bodies including Pearl Lake, Lime Lake, and Armstrong Lake. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Tobin Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Burdickville Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this part of Leelanau County. The terrain transitions south into Benzie County, marked by the prominent elevations of Varney Hill and Warner Hill. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its reliance on the water and the preservation of its natural dune-and-lake environment.
