2019 Map of Chase

About this map

Nirvana and Chase serve as the primary focal points of this Lake County landscape, positioned along the historical corridor now occupied by the Pere Marquette State Trail. The area is defined by the dense woodlands of the Manistee National Forest, where a network of watercourses including Sanborn Cr and the Middle Br Pere Marquette River drain the glacial terrain. Genealogists will find the Nirvana Cem and Chase Cem clearly marked near their respective settlements. The map illustrates a transition from the structured township grid lines, such as N State Rd and S Kings Hwy, to the winding riparian environments of the Little Manistee River and Totten Lake in the northern sections. This alignment of recreational trails, cemetery locations, and water bodies highlights the region's evolution from a timber and rail hub to a protected forest interior.
