About this map

Curtis sits as the primary settlement on this Michigan landscape, positioned between the waters of Manistique Lake to the north and South Manistique Lake to the south. The area is defined by its complex shoreline, featuring prominent landforms like Needle Point, Long Point, and Sprangs Point. Interior wetlands and smaller basins such as Shoepac Lake and Hempfield Lake drain via the Shoepac River, while the northern edge is marked by the course of the Manistique River.

For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies both the Curtis Cem and Germfask Cem, alongside infrastructure like the Old Bryan Grade. The intricate water system is further highlighted by numerous islands, including Foster Island, Gull Island, and Norton Island, which underscore the region's character as a hub for lake-based activity. Roadways such as Barker Rd, Lustila Rd, and Ketola Rd provide a clear view of the rural settlement patterns throughout this lake-rich portion of the Upper Peninsula.
