Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominates the northern and western sections of this landscape, reflecting a region defined by federal conservation and glacial geology. The settlement of Burdickville sits near the southeastern shore of Glen Lake, serving as a central point for local history researchers. The map reveals a high density of small burial sites across the township, including Burdickville Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and the Tobin Cem, providing essential data for genealogists tracking early families in Leelanau and Benzie counties. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a dense cluster of kettle lakes such as Pearl Lake, Lime Lake, and Garey Lake. The presence of the Shore to Shore Trail and the Empire Airport highlights the area's dual role as a recreation destination and a rural transportation hub at the time of the 2017 survey.
