2014 Map of Chase

About this map

Manistee National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape in eastern Lake County, where the unincorporated settlements of Chase and Nirvana serve as local centers of activity. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Middle Br Pere Marquette River in the south and the Sanborn Cr system to the north. These rivers have long dictated the layout of local roads such as Us HWY 10 and S Frank Smith Rd. For those researching local families, both the Chase Cem and Nirvana Cem are clearly marked near their respective communities. The topography is further characterized by numerous natural features like Big Spring and the Baldwin River, illustrating the township's transition from forest to small-scale rural residential use.
