2019 Map of Copemish

About this map

Copemish and the small settlement of Pomona anchor this 2019 survey of the Manistee County landscape, where the northern wetlands meet a network of small creeks and glacial lakes. The Betsie Valley State Trail cuts through the northeast, tracing a historic passage through the terrain near the Betsie River and First Cr. Genealogists will find notable burial sites recorded, including the Cleon Township Cem near the eastern border and Marilla Cem further south. The geography is defined by a series of named water bodies such as Lemon Lake, Ball Pond, and Lake Salma, along with a dense system of seasonal streams like Bear Cr and Dutchman Cr. These features, combined with family-named rural roads, illustrate the modern layout of this timber and agricultural region in northern Michigan.
