About this map

The Copemish village site anchors this landscape in Manistee County, situated at the intersection of several significant townships including Springdale, Cleon, Maple Grove, and Marilla. Much of the terrain is defined by the Pere Marquette State Forest, which covers extensive sections of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, featuring a series of numbered tributaries—First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek—that feed into larger systems like Bear Creek and Dutchman Creek.

Infrastructure in the late 1980s is marked by a network of underground pipe lines, a substation, and a landing strip, indicating the region's utility and transportation corridors. Local industry is represented by a gravel pit near Pomona, while recreation is centered around several water bodies, including Healy Lake with its adjacent campground, Lemon Lake, and the small Lake Salma. A series of firebreaks cut through the forested sections, highlighting the active management of the state forest lands during this era.
