About this map

Manistique Lake and South Manistique Lake dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, connected by a narrow strip of land where the settlement of Curtis is established. The geography is defined by extensive wetlands and complex hydrology, including the Black Creek Flooding and numerous drainage ways like Norton Cr and Furlong Cr. This area on the Luce and Mackinac county line shows a pattern of rural development focused around the lakefronts, with roads such as Bil Mar Beach Rd and Manilak Rd serving seasonal and year-round residences.

Away from the water, the terrain reveals a quiet history of local landmarks like the Sandtown Cem off Sandtown Rd. The interior is crisscrossed by a network of county roads including N Gould City Rd and Co Rd H33, providing access to the dense woodlands and interior water bodies like Furlong Pond and Spot Lake. The Rock River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in Newton Township.
