2011 Map of Ford River
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The winding Ford River defines the drainage of this coastal Michigan landscape as it meets the shoreline of Lake Michigan. This 2011 survey documents a mix of low-lying wetlands and established rural settlements like Narenta and Hyde, which sit along the inland transportation corridor. Near the coast, the community of Island View looks out toward Round Island, situated between North Lake and the open bay. Local history is anchored by the West Ford River Cemetery, located north of the river's main bend, while more modern land use is visible at the Country Meadows Golf Course. The geography is characterized by several small tributaries, including the curiously named No See-um Creek and Fenlon Creek, which feed into the larger river system before it reaches the settlement of Ford River near the lake's edge.
