2017 Map of Cross Village

About this map

Cross Village sits prominently along the elevated bluffs of Lake Michigan in this Northern Michigan landscape. The settlement is defined by its coastal orientation, with N Lake Shore Dr and Lower Shore Dr following the contours of the shoreline. The map reveals a dense concentration of local history markers, specifically the three distinct burial grounds: Cross Village Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Indian Cem. These sites, along with the nearby McCort Hill, suggest a deeply rooted community structure that has persisted along the lake's edge. To the south, the topography transitions toward the drainage of Wycamp Cr, while the grid-based road network including W Levering Rd and N State Rd provides the primary connections inland through the forested terrain of the northern Lower Peninsula.
