2011 Map of Cooperton

About this map

The Muskegon River meanders heavily through this portion of Frost Township, defining a landscape shaped by glacial hydrology and modern transport corridors. The small settlement of Cooperton sits east of the river's deep loops, positioned near the intersection of several local routes such as Iosco Rd and N Clare Ave. This 2011 survey captures the area as a mosaic of wetlands and timbered tracts, with significant water features like Rice Pond, Grass Lake, and Wraco Lodge Lake dotting the terrain. The river crossing at Jonesville Bridge serves as a primary landmark for the western side of the map, while the modern infrastructure of the Houghton Lake Rest Area reflects the role of state travel in the region. Smaller tributaries including Bear Creek and Town Line Creek feed into the broader drainage system, illustrating the intricate water network typical of northern lower Michigan.
