2017 Map of Dinca

About this map

Dinca sits near the heart of this Missaukee County landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages shape the local geography. The northern reaches are defined by the winding course of the W Br Muskegon River, which flows through expansive wetland areas such as Seanlan Marsh and Selfuse Marsh. This network of water continues south with Butterfield Cr and Mosquito Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced early settlement patterns in Aetna Township. Local history is anchored by the presence of Aetna Cem and Reeder Cem, positioned along a grid of section-line roads that includes E Kelly Rd and W Houghton Lake Rd. These landmarks and burial grounds provide valuable reference points for genealogists and researchers tracing families who established themselves in this pocket of northern Michigan.
