1983 Map of Burdickville

About this map

Glen Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Leelanau County region, where the settlement of Burdickville sits along its southern shore. The 1983 survey reveals a transition between the protected lands of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore to the west and the expansive Pere Marquette State Forest to the south. Local life is anchored by institutions like Glen Lake Ch and Glen Lake Sch, while numerous small water bodies including Pearl Lake, Lime Lake, and Armstrong Lake dot the glacial terrain. Genealogists can find several established burial grounds such as Tobin Cem and Rose Hill Cem. The map also captures the local aviation history with the Gainbroke Landing Strip located near the boundary between Empire and Kasson townships.
