1983 Map of Flower Creek

About this map

Lake Michigan forms the western boundary of this coastal region where the White River meets the shore. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Manistee National Forest in the northeast to the developed recreational and agricultural lands further south. The Old Channel and Indian Bay near the river mouth highlight the shifting hydrology of the area, punctuated by landmarks like the Pumping Station and several small cemeteries including Mouth Cem and Hubbard Cem. Local infrastructure is visible through the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line and a network of rural roads such as Skeels Rd and Meinert Road. The presence of the Old Channel Trail Golf Course and parks like Meinert Park reflects the mid-century growth of this shoreline into a recreational destination for the surrounding counties.
