2014 Map of Fife Lake

About this map

The waters of Fife Lake dominate the geography where Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Wexford counties converge. This 2014 survey documents the village of Fife Lake along the northwestern shore, featuring both Florence Island and Helen Island within the basin. To the north, the small settlement of Houseman sits along the roadway, while the Manistee River cuts across the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Hopkins Cr and Spring Cr. The land use is defined by a mix of forestry and aviation, noted by Tannehill Airfield to the north. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Saint Aloysius Cem and Fife Lake Cem near the village, and the more secluded Clark Cem situated to the southeast, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking family plots in this corner of Michigan.
