About this map

The Lake Michigan shoreline dominates this section of the Michigan coast where Flower Creek and Little Flower Creek meet the dunes. The landscape transitions from the open waters of the big lake into the dense woodlands of the Manistee National Forest, reflecting the coastal ecology of the region. To the south, the terrain opens into the complex waterways of White Lake, characterized by landforms such as Indian Point and Long Point that define the approach to Montague.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved in the record, including Flower Creek Cem in the north, Hubbard Cem near Meinert Park Rd, and the isolated Mouth Cem positioned near the inlet. The map detail highlights the interface between established county roads and the natural hydrology of the area, including the Pierson Drain and Birch Brook, illustrating how the land has been managed and settled over generations along this freshwater front.
